Putting documents on microfilm has just gotten easier.  The 3M 6500 Planetary Camera automates nearly every microfilming function from focusing to frame size. Just place a document on the copy board and press a button.  The microprocessor-controlled camera takes care of the rest - automatically.

You can use the 16mm film or your choice or allow us to set exposure using a quality film and film processing.

Even if your business produces just a few documents, the 3M 6500 is economical enough to start replacing your paper files immediately.  Yet it is so fast and so simple to operate, it can easily handle even a large volume of documents.

The 6500 was designed for easy, desktop operation. The control panel is readily accessible, clearly positioned and so self-explanatory that even first-time operators can become automatically productive.

Automatically senses document size and selects reduction ratio.

The 3M 6500 Camera automatically senses the size of documents you place on the copy board - up to 11" x 17".  Then, automatically selects the proper reduction ratio required to film them.

Programmable leader and trailer.

After you load your film, the 6500 Camera will automatically advance it to a preselected location on the roll.  When you finish, it lets you choose how much of a trailer to leave at the end. To maximize the number of documents per roll, you can also choose how much space to put between frames.

Automatically selects proper focus.

The 3M 6500 is one of the only planetary cameras available to feature automatic focus. For crisp, clear document images.

Automatic exposure control.

The 6500 Camera will automatically select the proper film exposure.  For special requirements, however, you can override the automatic mode and expose the film manually.

Automatically selects proper frame size.

The 3M 6500 Camera not only senses document height for automatic reduction control, but it also senses document width for automatic frame size control. For example, up to legal size documents (8 1/2"x14") are filmed on one frame width of film, wider documents are automatically filmed on double frames. The 6500 films your documents upright so they can all be viewed and printed upright on a reader printer.
