Installing Leica DFC Twain Software
Leica DFC Twain software is a program for controlling
Leica DFC Cameras. Leica DFC Twain software is unable
to run on its own. It forms the interface between host
application software and the camera, and enables you
to set the camera parameters. Host application
programs such as Leica Application Suite, Leica IM,
Leica QWin, Imaging ®, Photoshop ®, PaintShopPro ®
etc., use Leica DFC Twain software to view and capture
digital images.
More detailed information on using DFC Twain is
available in the Leica DFC Acquisition manual. This and
other manuals can be found on the Leica DFC Camera
CD, and are also installed in the Leica Microsystems/
DFCTwain folder in Program Files.
