It depends on what you mean by "clearer". You say it takes great pictures, so what is it that you want to improve? Is it certain subjects? Close-ups or action or landscapes? Is it in some locations, like indoors or at stadiums? Is is in some kinds of lighting, such as back-lit subjects, or at sunset? There are so many possibilities, and most Kodak cameras are sadly limited in what they can do and how much you can compensate or control the camera that the best advice I can offer is that you join a site where you can post you photos and get feedback from other photographers.

I have found that using the Auto setting gives me very good pictures under normal conditions. Most digital cameras have such advanced processors that the auto mode can out guess your eye. If you want special effects or are shooting in less than normal conditions.

If your camera has a way to manually set the shutter speed, then make sure the speed is 1/125 or more. When you use a slower shutter speed, there is more chance that your photos will be blurry from your movements or the movement of what you are taking the photos of. You'll have to check your camera manual to see if you can set the shutter speed or not. Also, photos taken with flash tend to be sharper, because flash freezes movement.
