Only if you turn the altitude reaallyy slow. Otherwise it won't capture and just continue descending. It is still our SOP for the least used method of doing non precision approaches (using V/S instead of VNAV or IAN) to dial the altitude window down to MDA and 500' above MDA turn it back up to the missed approach altitude.
