[Liveu mode] (face detection) (p.116).
If you want to achieve precise focusing, set the lens focus mode switch
to <MF>, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.119).

Quick Mode:

The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in the One-Shot AF mode
(p.79), using the same AF method as with viewfinder shooting.
