Im not sure but "Macro photography" is close up photography. Maybe your cam has an option to optimize quality for close ups?

P.S. Macro means large.

yes macro on a camera is a super close up setting for getting the finest of detail for a picture like this http://fatal.gangtf.org/summer/Colorado Vacation/mini-Img319.JPG...
