You may have noticed I didn't test any other proximity (than the "CLOSE" one) for this mic and recorder combination (I did the same for the H1, F1). The reason is that this mic doesn't output a high enough signal to be useable (without an AUX. AMP) at proximities that are further away (VLOG, BOOM, AFAR). I did have a workaround when using this on the Zoom F2, and that was to add a Comica CVM-D03 AUX. AMP to boost the level...but it isn't really practical to add this amplifier AND the recorder to the top of your camera (while vlogging). Then, as far as the "BOOM" and "AFAR" proximities, I may follow up and do a test later, but I would prioritize using other mics if that is your intended use.

Regarding this combo, I need to create a custom EQ for this microphone/audio recorder combination, because it needs the 160Hz REC. LOWCUT (80, 120Hz sounded unrealistic) and the LOWCUT helps to reduce background (and handling) noise as well, though the main use of this "CLOSE" proximity is for recording INDOORS, in a semi-controlled environment (for narration, voiceovers, podcasts). I'm again reminded of how different the audio from this recorder (the H1n) is from the older version (the Zoom H1). However, the REC. LEVEL is almost the same between those two recorders, and the only reason why I'm using 6.5 on the H1n (vs. 63 on the H1) is the H1n uses a DIAL to set the level, and it's less stressful to set it halfway between 6 and 7 (on the dial) whereas the H1 uses buttons to set a specific number between 0-100.
