First of all, the lens on your model is "fixed" - you cannot take it off and put a dedicated macro lens on the camera body like a DSLR, because it's NOT a DSLR. You can however, screw an attachment on the front. They made a macro lens for that camera which was Konica's model # CL49-200. It ran around $100 when the camera was new. It allows you to focus as close as 8cm to the subject. Since Konica is no longer making digital cameras (they turned their camera division over to Sony), you may have to contact Sony if you want one direct, or, do some searches on Ebay or online for one.
Also, there are "close up filters" which can be bought which screw on to the front of the lens and allow you to get closer to the subject. They won't produce results quite as good as the lens attachment above, but they're better than nothing. Your local camera store will (or should) have some in stock you can go look at.
