that's the hard part--making sure it's focused and holding the camera still-- whether you are 8 inches away or 8 feet away with whatever you're pointing and shooting!

To be honest, "acquire focus and hold really still" is about sixth on my go-to list of photography techniques.

First, of course would be, "acquire (perhaps imaginary) focus and then wave the camera around." Click. I have folders full of shots that demonstrate my mastery of that technique. Unparalleled, championship-caliber camera-waver here. And there are many others .
