WIA
WIA is short for Windows Image Acquisition. Windows®XP might start a generic WIA interface
when you choose the camera device name with the WIA prefix as your source device for image
capture, instead of the TWAIN View Finder. This Microsoft® WIA interface allows you to capture
still images with your camera, but without the advanced capabilities of the TWAIN software.
Preferably, you should select the 'Philips ToUcam Camera' as your TWAIN source device for
acquiring still images with your camera.
