Some Jackass Thought It Would Be Amusing

uh.. the stuff he uses doesn't have Digital zoom.

only the "basic point and shoot boxes" have that. as it's like I said, it distorts pictures. for the average consumer not a big deal, but for enthusiasts and professionals... it'd be like making our motorcycles automatics

Only one of my cameras has a digital zoom and I've never (will never) used it.

This is a digital camera I got in 2004. A Gateway DC-M42

Those throw away playskool cameras have more technology than this thing.

I'll attach a picture with the info the picture gave. Now what exactly on this info do we need to look for? Focal Length, Subject Distance, etc? Or does any of that matter?

Well there ya go, so exif data holds more info than I thought. Learned something new today. Does it take a special program to read that data? I have a new DSLR and I don't see subject distance when I right click and go to Properties; just camera settings (focal length, f stop, iso, etc.).

What's the distance between the white lines?

There doesn't appear to be anything within 2.1 meters.

It's the distance to the focal point, not to the object in the centre. If the camera is set at the hyperfocal distance, then that would be significantly closer than the subject.

Hyperfocal Distance Definition

"When the lens is focused on the hyperfocal distance, the depth of field extends from half the hyperfocal distance to infinity.

Photography, Phil Davis, 1972."

"The hyperfocal distance is the point of focus where everything from half that distance to infinity falls within the depth of field.

John Shaw's Landscape Photography, John Shaw, 1994."

It depends on the size of the mirror...
