<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 534408, member: 15062"]The built-in lights so near the optic pickup causes reflections on a shiny or reflective surface such as a coin. It's okay to have subdued direct lighting on a coin for photography but the major lighting should be from the sides. his provides light for the coin and also enhances the raised portions of the coin. The only way to eliminate the direct glare from the LEDs is to either cover them altogether (not especially easy to do) or use the viewer at a greater distance. Of course, that means reduced magnification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
