On the back of your P&S, do you see a little flower icon? That is the macro button that should allow your P&S to focus much closer. Keep subject dead center for proper focus.

I use it often. It failed today. Would not focus any closer than 10". It is several years old, and has taken thousands of shots. Will be looking for a replacement. My phone, however, seemed to do great! But when I uploaded the image, it was so grainy, I didn't feel it worth posting. Could delete the shot, but couldn't seem to delete the post entirely. So, just edited it.
Thanks for commenting, though - you are always so helpful!

Just remember: the sensor in your phone is about the size of your pinky fingernail. It does not tolerate enlargement gracefully. A "cropped sensor" in a DSLR is about the size of a man's thumbnail. A P&S sensor is in between sizes.I use it often. It failed today. My phone, however, seemed to do great! But when I uploaded the image, it was so grainy, I didn't feel it worth posting.

Yes, I was expecting way too much from a camera phone. I much prefer my D7000! Here is the image, from my Droid Max Razr.

Here's one I was luck enough to capture in San Diego right outside the arboretum.
