<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1237679, member: 66"]Actually the focus on that coin is fine. The reason that coin doesn't look better is because it has been taken at a an acute angle. Most people that have problems focusing even with a macro setting is because they are still trying to get too close to the coin. The macro setting lets you get closer to the coin but there is still a minimum distance. You have the camera closer than that and it won't focus. If you can't get as close as you want, increase the resolution you are shooting at, get as close as you can then crop the extra materiel out of the picture and enlarge the image to the size you want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another problem a lot of people have with extreme closeups is the the closer you get the steadier the camera has to be held. This can be countered with a higher shutter speed or even better a tripod and either a remote shutter trip or a timed shutter trip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
