[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 514867, member: 13650"]What kind of camera? Even with a point and shoot, I don't know of any camera where you can just turn it to auto and start taking good close up pictures of anything. Make sure you have plenty of light over the subject like a desk lamp or two, to begin with. Then you may need to adjust your shutter speed which will be represented as 1/15, 1/250, etc... This should lighten or darken the LCD display in real time. You can't use a flash. There's no need to anyway. Go to your white balance (WB) and look for custom. You should have a set or ok button. Fill the viewfinder with a white sheet of paper under your lighting and hit set. This tells your camera what true white is under the lighting you are using. This usually has to be done in a manual mode. Normally not an option using auto. Oh yeah, one more thing.... if you can remove it from a plastic holder for the pic, do it! Much easier not having the glare and reflection. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]
