Using AF to FocusN

Under [7Custom Functions (C.Fn)], when [AF during Live View shooting] (p.157) is set to [1: Quick mode] or [2: Live mode], you can focus with AF. Quick mode and Live mode use a different AF method. If you want precise focusing, magnify the image and focus manually. (p.98)

C.Fn-7-1: Quick mode

This is the same as using AF (p.60, 61) as usual with the dedicated AF sensor. Although you can focus the desired area quickly, the Live View image will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.

Set to Quick mode, the lens focus mode switch to <f>, and the AF mode to <X>.
