yes, try, mine you just have to hold it down till the little flower icon appears on screen, then let go - but it disappears right after you take the picture.

I also found with my camera that trying to get too close always results in blurry. I think I read in the online manual that you have to be back at least 6 inches.

I am playing today too, just took a gazillion pics of my hostas, and this is Hoya motoskei, first time bloomer for me...(hope no one minds a hoya pic, I also took some AV pics of some buds and a new Optimara plant, but they didn't come out nice/clear)
