From about 3-4 feet (not precise), my G1x will not focus when zoomed to 85 or 100 mm. Yet it will focus at 112! With macro mode on, it will focus at all focal lengths from that distance. Anybody know why this occurs. Thanks.
 
The minimum focus distance on the G1X is variable and is at its greatest around 100mm but shortens slightly at 112mm. I gather that it is to do with the complexities of the collapsing optics in the lens. There is evidently a price to be payed for making such a sharp, 4x zoom lens on that size sensor collapse down into such a compact package
