What exactly does this do?
I'm looking in my manual and reading and I still do not really understand.
Here is the techie answer from the manual...
If you know you will be shooting primarily at long or short camera-to-subject distances during a particular session, you can use the LIMIT setting on an AF Micro-Nikkor to restrict the focusing range of the lens to save focusing time.
When the LIMIT/FULL selector is on FULL, the lens can be focused continuously from infinity to 1:1 (life-size closeup). We recommend leaving the selector on FULL for most general shooting. To restrict the lens to close focusing, focus the lens at or near its minimum distance and slide the selector to LIMIT. The lens will now focus only to repreduction ratios between 1:1 and approximately 1:2.3. To restrict the focusing range to longer distances such as portraits and scenics, focus at or near infinity before switching to LIMIT. The lens will then focus only between infinity and a reproduction ratio of about 1:3.
Thanks in advance for the translation for dummies...
