Iron Lungs, I don't know if your model has a Macro setting or not, but that's what you want to look into for the close up shots.

it looks like you're getting some nice images out of that camera

All cameras have a minimal focal distance; for the Kodak Z812....

"Close-ups are very sharp, but the minimum focusing distance is 4.7 inches/12 centimeters (at the wide angle end of the zoom)"

Not sure if this camera has a Macro setting or not.

I was looking and I don't see a Macro setting on this camera. I will be pulling out the manual today for sure.

If you what to do Macro photography, you'll want to look at the camera's minimum focal length.

For instance, the Canon G10 has a minimum focal length of 6.1 millimeters.

Taken about 6 inches from my morning fix:


And taken about 1/2" from the cup:
