The range limiter on the 70-300mm G SSM has 3 positions, (Full AF), (Infinity-3M) and (MF). The first and last are self explanatory, the middle one is as I said above and limits the focus travel from Infinity down to 9 Metres. Some other lenses I have with focus limiters have a low and a high setting, which works differently. The 70-300 has an SSM motor and it doesn't go to infinity and back to get a reference point like non SSM lenses. I think.
