Abstract: A projector which projects an image includes: a housing which forms an external casing of the projector; a plurality of extensible and contractive legs which support the housing; a leg extension and contraction drive unit which extends or contracts at least one of the plural legs; an inclination detection unit which has a pendulum provided within the housing such that the pendulum can swing, and detects inclination of the housing with respect to a horizontal surface in the left-right direction based on inclination condition of the pendulum in the left-right direction to output inclination information based on a detection result; and an inclination correction unit which controls the leg extension and contraction drive unit based on the inclination information outputted from the inclination detection unit to correct inclination of the housing in the left-right direction.
