I Don't Understand This...

Hi guys

My Lumix ZS20/TZ30 has got a minimum focal length of 3cm. When I'm in intelligent Auto mode, and I zoom to full wide, the zoom indicator says "0.03m - infinity", which means the minimum focal length is 3cm, as it should be.

However, when I'm in P or M mode, the minimum focal length does not go below 50cm, even if I'm full wide and at F/3.3 - the lowest it can go.

Does anyone know why this happens?
