trying out pictures

[Triggersmob]

I also get that, so I just retype it as or use the browse button to find the image.

There are so many around, so its probably the best to pick a budget and have a look. I haven't really looked myself, but I'd stick with a better brand. At 16mp with 5x zoom, you should be able to get a nice photo from that. They will be around the same size as the ones I posted earlier in this thread.
The one I linked has 5x optical zoom, and the difference is that there is a physical change the optics of a camera to make the image appear closer. (on that one the lens may move forward and backward as you zoom in and out)
Digital zoom is that same as when you get the image onto the computer, and you use zoom. So if you already are using a digital zoom on the camera, then by the time the image is on the computer, you can't zoom any more without losing quality.

i think ..    ,, kel ,,

hi rob , do you think that one at harvey /n would be ok for me to show better and larger pic with ,?? at $ 118 .00 that seems ok price ..

 i just want to be able to show big pic,s like you all do so that one day if i get anything worth showing on the forum i will be able to get a grading from you guys .,  if you think that one is ok then i can get it . also does it have  [ OPTICAL ZOOM  ] like you said ,. what it means , i dont know but you said optical zoom would be better then
   digital zoom ..   ,, kel ,,

Kel and Rob the 3rd,

The little Kodak of Kel's Cannot utilise Zoom whilst
in Macro Mode. The electronics in the camera can't
resolve the Autofocus with this combination.
The result will be a slightly "Out of Focus" image.
(This inability to resolve autofocus is quite common
in just about all Point and Shoot auto's)
Use Macro Mode Only

For this camera, you either move the camera closer
to the subject or move the subject closer to camera.

It would appear that when you crop the coin the image
size is about 300x300, normal for a 3mp camera, you
need to resize image before you save it.

For the Large Picture Look, the image needs to be about
600x600 size (The Forum software will reduce larger sizes)

For Kel, use Tiny Pic to insert a Large image.

The direct forum attachment has a limitation of about 200x200
this will result in a Small image

This is one of your coins Kel, resized to the Large Picture Size.
You will now see that the image was not in focus.
Macro+Zoom = Bad outcome for Mr Kodak.


This image is your 6d doubled in size.
The current size you attached was 308x314
I doubled the size to 616x628

I also get that, so I just retype it as or use the browse button to find the image.

Might be a Browser problem.
Blocking the "Pop Up" input screen.
What browser and version are you using?
On my Vista machine I'm using FireFox V17
and it is producing the "Undefined" error.

Maybe a new topic thread should be established.

Thanks Fordprefect,
I didn't even realise that the point and shoots had trouble focussing with zoom heheh.
At normal size the pics looked ok, but doubling the size, its easy to see. Even when I rested my point and shoot on the glass It wouldn't zoom much before not being able to focus anyhow.
I normally use my Nikon D200 in Aperture mode and hope everything else works out! I might adjust the exposure a bit to prevent highlights, and if I need to use flash i'll throw on the speedlight with a diffuser.
I have a camera stand lined up, just need to get over to Belly's house to pick it up, and in a few months, if i can hold out on buying coins i'll try to pick up a dedicated macro lense for the nikon.

thank you  ford/prefect and rob also ,

I am using Vista and Firefox 18.0.1

[Fordprefect]

I am using Vista and Firefox 18.0.1

The problem looks to be related to Firefox.
Win7x64 + FF18 = "Undefined" error
Vistax32 + FF17 = "Undefined" error

But

On my server :-

Win7 + FF12 = Business as normal :angel:

Will check out IE and Chrome on my other PC's.

thank you  ford/prefect and rob also ,

 does that mean that if i use tinypic , i can make the pic about 600x600  or am i stuck with the size i am getting now , anyway that size that i get to now  is not so bad anyway,

Yes, resize your pics to the 600x600 size and post via Tinypics,
the Full Size pic will appear in your post.

thank you  ford/prefect and rob also ,
 can i disengage macro mode on my camera or is my kodak camera no good for getting a bigger pic with only 3.1 mp,s ,,  ,, kel ,,

NO, use MACRO MODE only, do not use any ZOOM.

More mega-pixels would be nice but are not essential.

Focus and lighting are the most important aspects to
get right first.

I am using Vista and Firefox 18.0.1

IE9 works fine, Looking like it's a Firefox problem.

I am using Vista and Firefox 18.0.1

Google Chrome V24 works as expected.

My money is now firmly on a FireFox compatibility issue
from at least V17 onwards.:dodgy:

This post from Vista 32bit lappy,

[keldaw]

 looks like i got the screen large but not the coin ,
i did something wrong but i am getting a little bit closer to getting it right .. what i did was , i took my normal picture , right click to go to paint , resize on paint to 500x500 most allowed then saved as jep then went to tinypic and downloaded to the forum , and this is what i got,   large screen but small picture ..       ,, kel ,,

[Fordprefect]

how is this one ?? looks like i am getting better ..   ,, kel ,,

 my wife just said i have gone from grade one up to grade two..
 isn,t that good , wonderful of her to say that ..


:shout::shout:           :yahoo::yahoo:

 looks like i have almost got it  , now all i have to do is get clearer.

                       [[[   YOU LITTLE RIPPER   ]]]

Well done, improvement is there.

You are very close to your little 3mp cameras capability.
Probably Half of the clear image your looking for, the Kodak
camera with it's low pixel count can't capture.
The Florin is fine :yahoo:
The 6d is marginal (Your running out of pixels):dodgy:
(Not sufficient detail to grade from)
Try a 3d.
The small size that will be captured is probably
going to be very ordinary.
An investment in a larger Mega Pixel camera should be
on your cards.

thanks fordprefect ,

[Fordprefect]

thanks fordprefect , the florin was changed on paint to 150 then loaded through tinypic to the forum .

                           the sixpence was changed on paint to 200 then loaded through tinypic to the forum .

 looks like  maybe 160  to 170 is the go till i get my new camera . . anyway i will try a threepence tomorrow and see how i go ,..

 a big thankyou to you and rob for your patience with me ..

I actually hate Bob

x 2.. it is an 'old' sounding name, no offense to any Bob's here.

[keldaw]

hey rob , thanks

[Fr45h3R]

We want pictures :cool:

I had an experience like that before, unfortunately it was Dick Smith and they were prepared to let me walk out and buy a product online (still from DSE), than drop the price $10.
No wonder Woolies offloaded them!
