Using AF to Focus
The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in One-Shot AF mode (p.70),
using the same AF method as with viewfinder shooting.
Although you can focus the target area quickly,
the Live View image
will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.
In AF area selection modes other than 61-point automatic selection AF,
you can manually select the AF point or zone. In the <
A
> mode, “61-
point automatic selection AF” is set automatically.
