This echoes my experience.  G7X II is simply not a good camera for macro.  It is possible to get decent results using manual focus, stopping down, and zooming in, but it takes far too much effort compared to most 1/2.3" sensor cameras.

The lens, however, is quite good when zoomed in and focused closer to infinity. So if you are pressed to shoot macros with G7X II, try ataching a quality close-up lens using some third-party adapter.
