    2. The Twain User Interface (UI)
    Your camera uses what is called a Twain interface. This is a small piece of software that serves as an intermediary between the camera and the Magic Manager Application.

    You may actually use your camera with any Twain software you may already own, or have installed on your PC. You will always see this UI when you use your camera - even with other Twain APs.
    The small images you see are called "thumbnails." Select those images you wish to transfer from your camera to your computer and click on the "Download" button.
    If you wish to select every thumbnail image click on "Select All"
    If you have selected some images, but have changed your mind click on "Deselect All" to select no images.
    To Exit and close the UI screen click on the "Exit" button.
    To Delete some or all of the images on your camera, click on the "Control" button. (See detail.)
    The "Setup" button allows you to adjust camera connection and image-color parameters. (See following detail)
    To delete all Images stored on the camera CF Memory Card, check the "All Pictures" button, and then click on the "Erase" Button.

    To delete only the last Image, check the "Last Picture" button, then "Erase."
    The Setup dialog box allows you to adjust various image settings.
