A projector includes a projection section that projects a first image on a projection surface, a control section that causes the projection section to project a pattern image for installation including a first pattern that is located at an end of the first image, which overlaps with a second image, and a second pattern that is so disposed that a first straight line section is located in a position separate from the end by a distance, and a correction section that corrects the first image based on a captured image containing an image of a first area of the second image, and the first area is an area that overlaps with an area having a width corresponding to the distance measured from the end of the first image in a state in which the first image and the second image overlap with each other.
