You can't have both in focus. You might be able to get close with a really small aperture, but I don't think it'll get you there at these distances. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 11:23 pm yeah thats what I was afraid of. I did manually focus that and if I get the coin in focus at all the lettering can't be seen. I had good success with my P{&SD showing DMPL coins but every coin I shoot with this dern dSLR camera looks horrible Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/24/2012 11:03 am The reason why it might have worked with a point-and-shoot was because the small sensor gives greater apparent depth of field (for complicated reasons). You can see what happens if you stop your aperture way down, like f/22 or something (however narrow your lens will let you get). Report this Post to the Staff

Yep, it's a trade-off between depth of field and light. Try a multi-second exposure with an f/16 or f/22. Report this Post to the Staff
