[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3415804, member: 77814"]remember, your camera sensor needs light. The more light, the faster the shutter speed and thus the less blurry from movement. Do not use the flash on your cell phone/camera. So go to a well lit room or add additional lighting. you don't need to direct light to the coin but you could always bounce light off the ceiling and walls. Of if anything, make sure the additional light is pointed at 45 degree angles to the coin with the camera directly above. So light reflection is not towards the camera sensor. Next, your camera has a "minimum focus distance" If you play around with your camera and get too close to something you'll notice that it will not focus no matter what. As you pull the camera away from the object it will start to focus. So you can find the "minimum" distance needed to focus. Make sure you stay longer than that distance. Then you need to stabilize your camera. Put it on top of a box or something. Then you need to make sure the camera sensor is directly *above* to coin. Take a look at where your lens on your camera is. Many ppl take images at weird angles because they don't even consider this. Then practice with directing the focus point to the coin instead of the background. Make sure your background is a white piece of paper or something without a pattern, otherwise the automated focusing system will try to focus on the background as it has more contrast. Touch the screen if it allows you to pick the focus point. Then practice. More than once. If you see a fuzzy image, delete it and retry. You have a digital camera, not film. So you can retry as many times as needed to get a good photo. posting a fuzzy image helps no one.[/QUOTE]
