Flowers moving in the Wind can be like fast action focusing plus limited DOF and subject movement and a difficult focus point. For moderate macro pics, the subject needs to be still and so do you. Remember manual AF? Very slow. My M3 was OK for anything but action pics if using a stm lens. Vastly better than manual focusing slr used for 30 years.

Your points are well-taken. This was the wrong subject for this camera's AF system.
