Tips for photographing small things: use optical zoom only, no digital zoom (this is usually around 5x to 6x on phones), aim at something close up and relatively flat and adjust focus (on a phone, tap the screen to force it to refocus), then lock the focal length (on android, a circle with a lock icon appears when you change focus. Tap the lock and it'll turn gold), \[you can't change the zoom after this, it auto-unlocks the focal length\], then aim at your subject and physically move the phone back and forth until the image is clear. Have fun 📸
