Some cameras require you stay at least 6-10 inches from the object you are taking a picture of from the end of the lens.

So put the little flower icon on your camera, take a picture about 1ft back, and zoom in on the object, and it should come out clear.

Some cams. need a very steady hand too or it will come out blurry, but just try taking a picture from farther back, then zoom in on the bud, then fully depress the button. If that doesn't work, stay back again and zoom in, but instead, push down your button to take a picture about halfway, it will focus, then fully press the button down.

I don't know how your cam works, but you need to have it on the flower icon (Macro) and stay back about 10-12 inches from the object you are snapping.
