[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 824938, member: 22585"][b]Tip for Motorola DROID camera phone users.[/b] Yes, I use my camera phone to take pictures of my coins. I have tried my 5mp Canon Elf, a Sony cybershot 5.1mp, and my 5mp motorola android phone. The phone took the best pictures by a long shot. After many many tries, I finally found the right settings to use on the phone. I shoot under a flourescent ceiling light. flash mode: off scene mode: auto white balance: Flourescent picture quality: fine focus mode: macro (most important) I use no digital zoom, and hold the camera about 7-8 inches away. If you are any closer, the details will be blurry. You will not see the detail very well through the phone screen, but when you move it to your computer, you will be amazed a phone can shoot such good pictures! Here are some I just took: [IMG]http://www.statworx.com/coins/1885O.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.statworx.com/coins/1885Oob.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
