Live View Options Before taking pictures using live view, rotate the mode dial to a (live view) and choose a live view mode and the release mode that will be used while the camera is in live view mode. The following live view modes are available: Option Description Choose when taking hand-held shots of moving g Hand-held subjects, or when framing photographs at angles that k (default) make it difficult to use the viewfinder (pg. 83). Camera focuses normally using phase-detection autofocus. Choose when the camera is mounted on a tripod. View can be enlarged in monitor for precise focus, making this mode suitable for static subjects (pg. 87). Autofocus h Tripod can be used to compose photographs with subject positioned at any point in the frame without recomposing photograph. Camera focuses using contrast-detect autofocus. A Phase-Detection Versus Contrast-Detect AF The camera normally uses phase-detection autofocus, in which focus is adjusted based on data from a special focusing sensor. When [Tripod] is selected in live view, however, the camera uses contrast-detect autofocus, in which the camera analyses the data from the image sensor and adjusts focus to produce the greatest contrast. Contrast-detect autofocus takes longer than phase-detection autofocus. 80
