<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1633546, member: 27832&quot;]The setting you want is &quot;exposure compensation&quot; -- setting it higher will make the picture lighter, and setting it lower will make things darker.</p><p><br /></p><p>Placing the coin on a darker background will also drive the camera to do a longer exposure, making the coin appear lighter. If you can find a good neutral gray background, you can use that to set your white balance, which is also helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Digital Rebel XT is an old camera, but it still gives you plenty of control over exposure. (I used a Digital Rebel for several years before upgrading to a 20D, which I&#039;m still using.) As you gain more knowledge, you may want to start shooting in RAW mode; this lets you retain more information in the image, and gives you more leeway to correct exposure and color balance in post-processing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
