It's to help autofocus performance. If the range is limited the lens won't
hunt all the way down to 1.5 meters, just down to 3. If you are shooting
football, for instance, most if not all of the action would be beyond 3
meters. Any closer then you might want to think about getting the heck out
of the way.
