I've been struggling to learn my own digital camera. I am also not from the "icons" generation. I understand words and numbers. I can quickly learn which words and numbers mean what in an old style computer interface. But I have a lot of trouble associating the icon in the camera manual to the icon on the camera screen (they don't look similar to me) and have no inherent clue what they mean without reading about them and even then I can't remember most of them.
The flower meaning "macro" meaning focus on an object very close to the camera is one of the easier ones to understand, especially if you use it to take pictures of flowers. That doesn't mean I got it right away, just I finally got it, where other icons I never got.
Anyway, if you can see how to select that icon on your camera, I think you'll enjoy taking another close up of a flower and moving it to a real computer and looking at the result.
Most computers have multiple handy programs for inspecting the image. You don't need to send it to a web site in order to use your web browser to see it.
My sons would certainly tell you I'm a dinosaur with no clue about modern technology. (I repeatedly need to ask my oldest how to get the game system, I would never use as a game system, back into the mode that lets me watch Netflix through it while using the exercise bike). Some technology I'm just too stubborn to make the effort to learn. Digital cameras, in my experience, have user vicious UI designs. But a digital camera is important enough for a hobby of gardening that it is worth the aggravation to learn it.
