Not in direct Sunlight but in well lighted area. Hold your camera as loosely as possible so your not using force which causes some shaking usually. When taking the photo, hold your breath. When you breath your chest expands and contracts and takes your arms with that. Your arms are holding the camera and this does create a movement. </p><p>Squeeze the trigger very slowly. </p><p>If the coin is in focus when you try, the results should also be OK. </p><p>Naturally things like a tripod are helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

If the coin is in focus when you try, the results should also be OK. Naturally things like a tripod are helpful.[/QUOTE]
