vl53l1x shortest distance measurement

[WMaho.1]

I have a vl53l1x and testing it without glass and uncalibrated operating in SHORT distance mode. I get distance measurements of non-zero values at about 120mm. The datasheet claims 4cm. Will the calibration process result in short measurements inline with the datasheet?

I answer my question with a yes. Calibrate the sensors and then the near detections are indeed approximately 4cm.
