Quoting Bernardo BLITZ Silva
The macro option is a setting you turn on in your camera that takes better pics when you are shooting at closer distance, this is the case. Thats why they are somewhat blurry. Ask someone at home how to do it, or grab the instructions manual or search the net.
Thanks, I fiddled around with my camera a bit and now have better pictures. Nothing extraordinary, mind you..... but better.
