[QUOTE="goldenhammerman, post: 208667, member: 17298"] Being a bit of a tightwad, and an inexperienced photographer at that, I own a Coolpix 5400 from which I cannot be seperated. I have the opportunity to have on loan a mutitude of Ledgers and Documents to copy and add to existing archive material on my computer. I foresee the need of a Tripod and a stand (a bit like a music stand) to place the subject matter but I am concerned as to the need of artificial light or daylight and the best setting with this camera to capture and often to enhace the contrast between yellowing paper and fading print / text / writing. Flash would not be appropriate but what other settings would be appropriate (without the constant need for alteration to them) and how near should one be to the subject matter - will manual or digital zoom offer an alternatiove to an otherwise fixed distance between lens and subject. The Manual on this Nikon Camera doesn't actually refer to "Document Copy" or similar term and so I seek help (IN SIMPLE ENGLISH PLEASE) from you, The Knowledgeable Many thanks GHM. [/QUOTE]
