Photography: Canon SX30is close up shots?
I am pretty new to photography & have a couple questions. I am using a Canon SX30is to take close up shots of rare coins. I have experimented with the camera's macro mode and manual focus but I keep getting grainy, washed out pics w/o much detail. The camera is on a tripod, approximately 6-8 inches from the subject & i am using a light tent for diffusion and two external white lights. I suspect the problem has to do with camera settings but I know very little about how to set up a camera for those conditions. Can someone suggest how to set up the SX30is for sharp, detailed close ups? Thanks.
Use the Av mode on the top dial
ISO: the lowest number available, don't use auto
Aperture: (the "A" in "Av") around 5.6 or 8
use a steady tripod and use a self timer to take the pictures, at least 2-5 seconds
That will produce the clearest pictures possible
