<p>[QUOTE="tsk, post: 139936, member: 5858"]I'd try things using a tripod if possible. Even a cheap one ought to work. I'd use the macro function as mentioned in the previous post. You'll want to be fairly close to the coin. I'd also disable the flash, and I would use the timer function on your camera. On my camera, I can set a 2 second timer. This allows me to hit the button, and then let go of the camera before it takes a picture (with the tripod holding it steady of course). That prevents you from shaking and ending up with a blurry picture. Also, make sure you have adequate lighting since you aren't using a flash. I think in most cases a flash will reflect off the coin and give you a poor photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
