All optical devices/lenses have a Minimum Focus Distance (MFD). Objects beyond the MFD the lens can sharply focus on. Objects inside the MFD, gradually get less and less sharp.


Most camera lens systems do not work as well when focused at the extremes of their limits. Also Depth of Field is very narrow the closer the subject is to the camera.


Now with all the said, are you manually selecting the object the lens should focus on or letting the camera choose the focus point. You can tap and hold your finger on the object until a yellow box appears and AE/AF Lock will appear near the top of the screen.


Please clean your lenses and take a few photos that exhibit the blurriness you describe.
