Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Canon DZ-3600U Digital Document Camera. Please
read this Users Guide thoroughly to use this product safely and extend its life.
In particular, please read and observe the safety precautions.
Features of the DZ-3600U Digital Document Camera
· High-Resolution
This device employs the Variable Refraction Optical System (VAROS) and a built-in 12 power
zoom lens to achieve high-resolution image capturing. Connect it to a computer with a USB
(universal serial bus) cable and discover how it handles high-resolution images that could
not be accommodated by earlier generations of visualizers.
· Multiple Applications
The DZ-3600U functions in a multitude of capacities, serving as a document camera for
presentations when used with a projector, as a scanner for desktop publishing applications or
as a videoconferencing camera.
· Versatile
Record anything from flat documents to 3-dimensional objects, OHP transparencies, negative
films and others. Just turn the camera head to capture white board images or to pan a
conference room.
· Remote Controls
You can conduct a computer-driven presentation without having to touch the computer, if it
is linked via a USB cable, since you can control it from the DZ-3600U's remote control or
control panel.
· All the Advantages of Traditional Visualizers Plus More
It is also equipped with video out ports like conventional visualizers, making it possible to
monitor the video feed from the camera in real-time and to conduct a presentation without a
computer.
The instructions for opening the product package, the packing list and
the components guide are contained in the appendix at the back of this
guide. Please refer to them as required.
Exclusion of Liability
If the DZ-3600U is connected to a recording device, such as a VCR, Canon
Inc. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any financial losses that may
be incurred as a result of the loss of recorded information or images,
regardless of the cause of the loss.
