We consider Matsumoto change of Finsler metrics. First, we find a condition under which the Matsumoto change of a Finsler metric is projectively related to it. Then, considering the subspace of m-th root Finsler metrics, if F̄ is the Matsumoto change of F , we prove that F̄ is locally projectively flat if and only if it is locally dually flat. In this case, F and F̄ reduce to locally Minkowskian metrics.
