You should read this document before installing your copy of this software. Leica DFC cameras use the FireWire interface and the Leica DFC Camera software package includes software and user guides for setting up and using these cameras. All reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that this publication is correct and complete, but should any user be in doubt about any detail, clarification may be sought from Leica Microsystems (Switzerland) Ltd, or their accredited representative. The information in this document is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as a commitment by Leica Microsystems (Switzerland) Ltd. [. . . ] Vertical and horizontal scroll bars in the panning mode worked the opposite way. White Balance ROI was incorrect when the cameras are used in Leica Application Suite (LAS). The gamma control triangle in the histogram sometimes ended in the same position as the white or black level triangle, and was difficult to move without resetting gamma. A new method allows better access to this control. 6. 29 Features in V 6. 3. 0 This release is compatible with improvements in the Leica Application Suite V2. F6 hotkey is available to toggle between Pan and Standard modes. Sharpening can now be applied to the live image. In rare instances, errors in camera initialization caused Twain not to start. It is now possible to reset all cameras in such a situation. 6. 30 Fixes in V 6. 3. 0 Leica Application Suite did not remember Twain 8/16 bit modes. Minimum exposures for DFC320 and DFC480 R2 cameras produced incorrect image density. Leica DFC Camera Release Notes Part Number 12879039 Page 12 of 19 The maximize window button did not produce a non-moveable maximum-sized window. The Auto-Brightness setting was not remembered.

This is now fixed. 6. 33 Features in V 6. 2. 1 This release is compatible with improvements in the Leica Application Suite after V1. 3. 0. Also Leica DFC Twain now displays the previous setting if a new White Balance fails, instead of resetting. Automatic Exposure defaults to a higher brightness value (90%).
