Working Distance
The in-focus range is 0.6 m (2 ft) - (infinity)

at telephoto.
The minimum distance for close-ups depends on the
focal length of the lens. The minimum distance is 0.6 m
(2 ft) for wide-angle and 0.9 m (3 ft) for telephoto.
When the green lamp blinks, the shutter will not release
because the subject is positioned close to the
minimum distance. Move away from the subject until
the green lamp lights.
