Incandescent on my Cannon Powershot 20 was still coppertone (I'm using a halogen lamp indoors) so I used the Tungsten lighting setting which was perfect. Exposure compensation turned off and a closeup lens. I have the camera on a tiny tripod with the coins elevated about 5 inches from the lens. I bounced the light off the coins directly into the camera like someone suggestion on this forum.
Oddly when I moved the halogen beam off to the side, the camera would no longer focus, it seemed to want to focus on the bright spot which left the coin blury.
CD burners are great, we purchased an external burner a while back.
