When “Hybrid” is selected as the Auto Focus mode (page 118), pressing the shutter button all the way without pausing at the half-way point will perform high-speed Auto Focus using the phase differential sensor only. Note, however, that high-speed Auto Focus is somewhat less reliable than the Auto Focus operation performed when you press the shutter button half way and pause.

Except when you specifically need very fast focusing and response, it is recommended that you normally press the shutter button half way and wait for the Auto Focus operation to complete before pressing the shutter button the rest of the way down to record.
