<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 8431011, member: 111067&quot;]An i or smartphone has a perfectly acceptable camera, and in it&#039;s settings function you can adjust the ISO, white balance and brightness before you even take the shot. The two most important things are focussing and light. Choose a solid color background such as white, grey or black to suit the coins composition. Raise the coin slightly on a plastic bottle cap (i use discs of cork), otherwise the camera is trying to focus on the whole image. Raising the coin makes the camera focus on that as the priority. Find something to rest your phone on such as a coffee cup or soup can etc. Try to get as much of the image window filled by the coin in focus without using zoom as this pixellates the image. Experiment with lighting positions till you get the result you are happy with. Set the timer for 2 seconds to eliminate the chance of camera shake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
