^^ more then likely it has a macro, normally represented by a flower icon. Every digital camera I have ever owned had one, even the very old ones.
If its a dSLR, then you have a macro mode to help aid, but you will need a external macro lens that screws into the normal lenes.

looks something like this... there is another that has a glass-loop over the little flower icon

A macro lens is a a true macro lens when it can focus down to 1:1 magnification. 1:1 on 35mm film will allow you to fit an object 35mm wide. APS-C cropped sensors on canon will allow you to fit a smaller size due to the sensor's smaller size.
Other "macro" lenses say "macro," but again, it's not really considered macro unless it can focus to 1:1 magnification.

It's mind blowing what pictures you can take with a true macro lens... which I'm just beginning to find out for myself.

Its my job to know these things. This is why I dont come in here often, everyone wants to preach. I was trying to make it simple, instead of complicated-- thus not helpful
Leica just gave me macro lens today to play with today, I'll shot some junk with it tomorrow
