<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 383353, member: 13184&quot;]The problem with digital cameras is that auto focus works against you most of the time.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a Sony Cyber-shot that I took these with and used natural light an flash.&nbsp; The key was to set the camera to macro mode, set the zoom all the way out, and place the camera about 4&quot; from the coin.&nbsp; Having proof coins can be challenging due to the mirrored field surface.&nbsp; The thing to keep in mind is that you are taking a picture of the reflection in the mirrored field.&nbsp; One technique is to setup a white sheet or a piece of foam core board and light the sheet and not the coin.&nbsp; It then becomes a balancing act between keeping the reflection off the holder but having some of it showing on the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have get one of my proofs out and play with it.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post if I have any luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
