Is a "macro" fairly new? I think this camera is around 5 years old. Update: I found my newer camera, and it has Macro mode  Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

I tested out the newer camera's macro mode, and the pictures are still very blurry when taking close up photos. Does anyone know why thats happening?

A couple possibilities: 1) The camera is too close to the coin. Macro shooting distances vary between cameras; only a few will let you get closer than, say, 4 inches or so. 2) You're hand-holding the camera. Especially in Macro mode, you'll probably never get a focused shot holding the camera in your hand. I know one person who can do that, and it ain't me.  |

OK, there's your basic night-and-day difference. There is very darn little to argue with this set. |

Here are some new pictures. These ones show the toning and shine a bit better than the last image. What could I change to improve it?  And, what set of pictures do you like more? The new ones, or the older ones? Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

Thanks, it took me a while but I finally got the hang of it. But today I accidently dropped my camera and now its not working. You should use Imageshack to upload your pictures. http://imageshack.us/ |
