So i got a nikon coolpix l340, and I want to take some cool pictures with a few of my lego figures. The problem is, I cant take closeup photos without them being blurry. I have next to no camera experience, so any help will be appreciated. (The pic is a pic I was able to take with my PHONE.)

just set it to macro mode and fuck off
Everyone else is being a dick, so heres what you're probably doing wrong. Your camera's autofocus isnt focusing properly because of how close up you are, so you need to switch it to manual focus. You also need to use the longest focal length you can, which is to say zoom in as far as it will let you without digital zoom. There should also be a macro mode in the options, which will let you focus in on things very close to the end of the lens. You also need better lighting, I'd recommend setting the legos up outside or by window.
