SONY dsc-p73
 

I can't seem to take clear close up shot for the life of me with this camara. Can someone help me out?

some sample shots

i have a p72 and perhaps i can give some tips

if you are shooting that close you want to enable the macro function
and you should set the mode to the beach i think and center auto focus

lemme knwo how that works out?

You also should note what the minimum focusing distance is on that camera. Like Grifter said, setting it to macro mode will allow it to use the minimum distance. Some cameras just cant get that close.

like 6"
