I never had that problem with my lens, the previous iteration of that 70-200 mm f/2.8. The minimum focus distance is 3.9 feet; it's not what most people would consider a macro lens, but there are some zoom lenses with macro capabilities. Any closer than 3.9 feet and you won't be able to get a proper focus, even in manual mode, with that 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens.
