DC300 resolution is high and can be used with Leica QWin. However you cannot see the whole image on the
screen at full resolution so the DC300F and DC350F are better choice s to use with Leica QWin.
With L eica QW in, whe n using hi gh-res camer as, go to pr efer ences an d check on all the f lags (f it to win dow etc) .

With Leica QWin, make the image memory suitabl y large e.g. 100M in the System Conf igu ration dialog.
