Focusing in Live View
Focusing in Live View operates differently
from normal shooting—because the
mirror is locked up, the usual focusing
sensor is unavailable. Instead, the camera
reads focus information directly from the
main image sensor. This is slower than
normal AF operation—often very
noticeably so—but very accurate. You can
also zoom in the view, which helps in
placing the focus point exactly where you
want it—and in manual focusing too.
Live View has its own set of autofocus
options, with two AF modes and four
AF-area modes.
Live View AF modes
The AF-mode options are Single-servo AF
(AF-S) and Full-time servo AF (AF-F).
AF-S corresponds to AF-S in normal
shooting: the camera focuses when the
shutter release is pressed halfway, and
maintains that focus if you hold
