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 camera control settings can be reset to default values in one step. 6. 28 Fixes in V 6. 4. 1 Drawing a ROI from right to left in the live image returned an incorrect region. The live image sharpening setting was not remembered when Leica DFC Twain closed. In V6. 3. 0, when Spot Exposure was turned off Auto Exposure for the whole image still remained active. When connecting Leica DFC and DC500 cameras at the same time, Leica DFC Twain incorrectly attempted to connect to the DC500. Connecting a USB device or inserting an autoplay CD caused Leica DFC Twain to reinitialize the connected camera. New FireWire drivers to improve transmission and reduce live image stop/starts. 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. 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. This is now fixed. 6. 31 Features in V 6. 2. 1. 1 This release is compatible with improvements in the Leica Application Suite V1. 3. 1 R2. 6. 32 Fixes in V 6. 2. 1. 1 Installing V6. 2. 0 more than once caused some camera recognition errors in some situations. 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. High Sensitivity by default is on for all Leica DFC FX cameras, and off for all other cameras with binning modes. The Leica DFC Twain splash screen no longer appears at start-up. 6. 34 Fixes in V 6. 2. 1 Applications did not always remember 16-bit mode when first opening. ROI on center scan modes incorrectly produced some error messages on capturing images. DFC320 R2: Improved overall performance and new Zoom Focus in highest resolution. DFC480 R2: New color binning and highest resolution in both fast and HQ modes. [. . . ] The Leica IM software is now supplied on a separate CD with each camera purchased and is not on this CD. The installation program has been changed so that both Leica DC and DFC cameras can be installed. There are many new features in Leica DFC compared to DC Twain software; however the general operational method is unchanged. Please note that the software for DC does not include changes that have been introduced for DFC cameras as the new DFC software takes advantage of new features of the DFC cameras. [. . . ]
