• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) (1 cm (13/32 inches) in

– It is dark and the subject is distant.
– The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.
– The subject is seen through glass.
– The subject is moving quickly.
– There is reflective light or shiny surfaces.
– The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.
