    Put your camera on a solid surface that allows you to get the object in the picture, place that right next to your glass, choose macro mode on the camera, and only touching the shutter button gently press.

    Okay, I tried and the pictures were even more blurry than before! I'm a lost cause, and I guess so is this ID.

    OK maybe we can help you with the camera instead? :)

    What are you shooting with and in what mode?

    Oh dear, lol. You are definitely earning your karma!

    I have a Canon Powershot SD850 IS and I use "aquarium" mode to take the pictures.

    I use "P" mode and macro or super macro. I let the camera do auto for the rest. Make sure your camera says you will take a good shot if not adjust the telephoto length until it does.

    Try not zooming in too much. Use as much pixels as you can and take a picture that's in focus. Then crop it and as you crop it, it will zoom in on the pic.
