The exposure is incorrect so the camera will not fire . You are too close to either focus or fire the flash Do the following with lense set at maximum zoom = 200mm . Set the camera to A mode . Set the aperture to F8 . Pop up the inbuilt flash . Put the coin on a table and put your camera on a tripod about 3 feet above the coin. Focus on the coin. . Check what speed is displayed on the displayed, it should be between 60 and 150. . Now try taking the photo. If the photo is successful, your problems are over, else there is a communications problem between the camera and the lense. [/QUOTE]
