Personally, I don't think you are ever going to get a shot with strobes @ 60mm (m43rds) were you are further than the .4m focus limiter that will turn out well. In my experience it is actually further than .4m that it will focus in that mode. Also, if you are relying on strobes, backscatter becomes too much of an issue as you are getting that far away to produce an acceptable image to me.

my strobe arms extend up to 0.5m.   backscatter is not a concern.

still comes down to size and friendliness of the critter.    The largest frogfish, even the medium sized octos push you beyond.

Doesn't seem like this is a value in the EXIF.   Wonder if stored in the RAW.  Then could look to see how many of my shots would have fit within the limiter.   I just know the ones that didn't, forcing me away from it.
