How can I get a clearer picture on my Kodak digital camera?

I have a P850 Kodak digital camera and I can't get close up pictures ( of flowers, animals etc..) to be very clear. Any suggestions?

1. There should be a macro button on your camera for closeups. Please refer to the owner's manual and look for the word "macro" in the index.
2. Look for macro close-up on your camera. This function will help produce clearer up close pictures.
3. Read the instuction book , it should tell you how to set the camera for close ups.
4. its better u read your instruction book its clearly mension there
5. I found it better to just take the pictures in auto mode and do the majority of the work on the computer. If you zoom in on the camera it really breaks down the mega pixels more on the computer.
6. I have a Kodak DC 240 with macro and you really do need to read the manual....The reason is because you not only have to properly "distance" your camera from the subject matter, you also have to use the wide/zoom button to properly focus it.... Without the manual info all you can do is fire up the LCD display and get it as clear as possible....and that just does not cut it..... For me....I take about 5 shots and select the clearest one..... Now if I would just take the time to read the manual....or find it....LOL Worst case, get on line with Kodak's website....they'll have more info....
7. well if you have the 24-140 lens than your minimum focusing distance is 2.0 - 20.4 inches in macro focusing range according the datasheet online i found for this camera. if you are staying within those limits and have the lens or camera set to macro it should be in focus. if not try using a tripod to keep the camera steady alot of times its you moving and you don't realize it. if not staying within 2.0-20.4 inches of your subject and you need to get further or closer try close up filters wich any decent camera store should sell and carry. or try buying a macro lens which only does macro. lmk if these solutions don't help- i love helping solve camera problems like this.
