You can select an AF method to suit the shooting conditions and your
subject. The following AF methods are provided: [FlexiZone - Single],
[uLive mode] (face detection, p.143), and [Quick mode] (p.148).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens’s focus mode switch to
<MF>, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.150).

Select the AF method.

Under the [z4] tab, select [AF
method
]. (In Basic Zone modes, it is
under the [z2] tab.)

Select the desired AF method, then
press <0>.

While the Live View image is
displayed, you can press the
button to select the AF method on the
Quick Control screen (p.138).

The image sensor is used to focus. Although AF is possible with the Live View
image displayed, the AF operation will take longer than with the Quick
mode.
Also, achieving focus may be more difficult than with the Quick mode.
