Using AF to Focus (AF Method)

Quick Mode:f

The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in One-Shot AF mode (p.103), using the same AF method as with viewfinder shooting. Although you can focus the target subject quickly, the Live View image will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.

You can use nine AF points to focus (automatic selection). You can also select one AF point to focus and focus only the area covered by that AF point (manual selection).
