wrk4lvg Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 2:32 pm Finally got the digital Camera It's a Kodak C330 4.1mp Every picture I try to take, the flash winds up being a reflection on the coin. Therefore, not able to make out what type of coin I am shooting. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Walk over to the box on the floor and find the manual that you probably buried while ripping it open. Then, figure out how to turn on the macro setting. Shop CCF Members on eBay.

wrk4lvg Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 3:49 pm Ok, only have it set at 3MP, will read and learn what I can tonight. Take some more practice photos, then hopefully by Sunday, I should be a little better. They forgot to include my mini tri-pod, so they are shipping that out to me ASAP. Want to post up my 21Ds (morgans) for viewing. Report this Post to the Staff
