the desired results can not be achieved using autofocus. Focus distance can

Manual Focus
When manual focus is in the macro close-up range (the end of the manual focus
display), the manual focus display will turn green and the camera will be able to focus
on subjects as close as 3 cm (1˝). Note that minimum focus distance varies with zoom
position; at some positions, the camera may be unable to focus in the macro close-up
range. If the camera is unable to focus at the current zoom position, the manual focus
display will turn red.
The AE / AF-L button can not be used to lock focus in manual focus mode.
Use autofocus with optional converter lenses ( 97).
