The AF modes available are [Live mode], [u Live mode] (face
detection, p.161), and [Quick mode] (p.165).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens focus mode switch to
<MF>, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.167).

Select the AF mode.

Under the [z] tab, select [AF mode].

While the Live View image is
displayed, you can press the <f>
button to select the AF mode on the
setting screen displayed.

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.
