<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 2076205, member: 17469&quot;]I&#039;m just diving into a few coins, I can&#039;t resist. Did some tests this afternoon, and a couple things became clear, that I don&#039;t think were mentioned in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, I had much better results shooting raw, rather than jpeg. Raw allows a much deeper color palette, and when many of the colors are so close together, it is quite noticeable. I &quot;knew&quot; this, but had never experienced it myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, I tested using &quot;live view&quot; (i.e. camera in movie mode, allowing zoom and focus on the back screen) for focusing. The results don&#039;t even compare. It is far easier to nail focus this way. Not all cameras will have a live view, but if you do, use it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Results from this first session attached. I&#039;m sure it can get better, but I&#039;m pleased so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
