[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2853590, member: 77413"]I [I]think[/I] that's how it works, but I would just try it out. The first hands-on experiment I would perform is just holding the shutter halfway down and moving the camera closer and closer. When the green light [I]does not[/I] come then you know you are past the closest focus distance. Then back it away until the green light comes on. This is the distance you will use for every shot, since it will give the biggest coin image on the camera sensor and capture the most information about the coin. The second hand-on experiment would be to set the timer to maximum, which is usually 10 seconds. (You know, time enough to run around from behind the camera and position yourself in a group photo!) Now you can try gently pressing the shutter and give the camera time to stop jiggling. So I happen to think this will work but it's pretty straightforward to give it a try and find out. One last note. Film cameras often have a threaded hole in the shutter button where a remote release cable can be attached. It eliminates vibration by having you press the button at the end of a long cable so you don't physically touch the camera. If this is an iPhone, then the earbuds that come with it can be used as a remote trigger for the shutter. Just plug in the earbuds and press the button on the cord.
