[QUOTE="Vixen, post: 361439, member: 21839"] Sounds like as you are inside there is not enough available light to get a good exposure. You will need to go out into the brighter light, use a flash, or put the camera on a tripod and use a longer shutter eg 1 second You could try the on camera flash. If it's a bit dim indoors shining a torch onto the coin might give you enough light to take a photo. As a beginner it sounds like you need to put the camera in Auto (in green on the dial) and use a desklamp or similar to light the area so the camera can auto focus. The flash will likely also go off. Macro is not easy. If you are not extremely stable in holding the camera you will get all out of focus shots. You really need a tripod for this sort of shot. [/QUOTE]
