Three AF modes are provided: [Quick mode], [Live mode] (p.123),
and [Liveu mode] (face detection) (p.124). If you want to achieve
precise focusing, magnify the image and focus manually (p.127).
Select the AF mode.
Under [6 Live View function
settings], select [AF mode].
While the Live View image is
displayed, if you press the
>
button, you can also select the AF
mode with the <6> dial.
The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in the One-Shot AF mode
(p.84) in the same way (AF method on p.84, 86) as with viewfinder
shooting.
Although you can focus the desired area quickly, the Live View image
will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.
