<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2564643, member: 76739"]I really don't know what brand it is. It's just one I picked up on eBay so I could start taking photos of coins when I join CT. Had a lot of problems at first. Camera software would not work with Windows. Windows software at the time would not recognize camera. That started the search on the Internet for USB camera software. It ended up after I finally went to Windows 10 the software started accepting the USB camera. That was my first encounter with this camera for about a month. Finally got it working figured out a lot of the tricks here and there and am still learning some.</p><p>Well if you got it working on your computer that's a start. Now as far as the glare you have to go to an alternate light source. Sometimes the LEDs in the camera will work to your advantage but most of the time they don't. I'll show you one I picked up for under $10 it's battery-operated and you can position it anywhere around the coin you want. And yes it has an LED light but a little frosted scotch tape will give you a filter on that light. Like I said there's all kinds of tricks. All I'll say is just be creative be willing to try new things to achieve the photo you desire.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
