Pictures?

Set the camera to macro mode (your user manual will tell you how if you aren't sure). Set the resolution to the highest setting (the most megapixels). Once you take a crsip photo, go into any photo editing program and crop it to show just the cent or portion of the cent that interests you.

I dont see macro,I have auto,portrait,sport,night,landscape and close-up.I been trying close-up.I've got it set on the highest quality.4 mp..I'll fool around with it later.

c ball,

Snoop around this forum and you will probably fins your answers. 4MP is more than good enough to take some decent photos(Not arguing with you mahgobbi, just trying to help). It is most likely the lighting and the distance to the coin. First things first though, you need to use a tripod and the delay shooting so you are not in any way touching the camera when it takes the picture. Most people also try to get too close to the coin. You can probably get some really nice photos from about 8-12 inches away with the proper lighting and settings on your camera. What make/model camera are you using?


I use a 5MP camera and have never messed with anything but the auto setting so far.

I'm not familiar with the Kodak digital cameras, but I would bet that you can take pretty decent to excellent coin photos with a bit of trial and error. Getting the lighting right, using a tripod or otherwise holding the camera steady, being sure to keep the plane of the lens parallel to the plane of the coin, and regulating depth of focus will give you the photos you need to post, and otherwise enjoy, pics of your coins.

There are a number of folks on this forum that can give you advice every step of the way. Getting your close-up or macro function set right is the first step I would think. Someone will come along with Kodak experience I would bet. I know that Kodak makes excellent point-and-shoot digital cameras, so have great expectations for yours!

Best wishes.
