My Samsung phone seems to have automatic focus, which seems to adjust
to macro quite easily. What I find more difficult is to hold the phone
still while taking the picture -- perhaps the fuzziness is due to
camera shake.

My Nikon, too, has auto-focus in macro mode.  But it's often not truly
focused.  I usually get the auto-focus to set up, do the "half-shutter"
lock-in, then move the camera in and out to select the sharpest details
seen in the display.
Then I go for "full-shutter".

Yeah.  Miky-maus, I know...
