• 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.
