[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2416429, member: 1892"]The bad news is, your camera offers very little manual adjustment. The good news is, it sure doesn't look like it really needs it. :) You do have the ability to create a Custom White Balance setting; this is the next thing to look at in your manual. What appears here is about as good as can be done with a single light source; have you the ability to get it any more vertical above the coin? The preferable "look" is with the light at 10:00 or 2:00-ish with the coin straight up as you'd inspect it, but if it'll help with lighting there's nothing stopping you from rotating coin or camera, and then correcting the rotation in postprocessing. It's always preferable to crop anything but coin out of the final image, and present the coin unrotated, as you'd like to look at it in-hand. That's Nikon's finest offering for coin photography - EFSC, no antialiasing filter and tetherable. [I]Terrific[/I] camera. If/when I can afford a fullframe, that will likely be the camera because away from the bellows, outdoors, I actually prefer Nikon.[/QUOTE]
