Lumix TZ5

I have a Panasonic TZ5 and trying to take close up pictures of coins in macro but can't seem to get very close and keep in focus.Am I doing something wrong or is it the wrong camera for this sort of photography.Thanks for looking. Cheers.

According to Jeff's review HERE (http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_tz5-review/):

The minimum focus distance varies depending on the zoom setting. At wide-angle, it's 5 cm; from there until 9X, it's 2 meters. At full telephoto, the distance drops down to 1 meter, for some serious tele-macro action.


Hope this helps. :)
