Changes in AF Speed Depending On the AF Control Method
During Live View shooting and movie shooting, the AF control method used
(phase-difference detection with the image sensor or contrast detection) will
switch automatically depending on the lens and function used, such as
magnified view. This can greatly affect the AF speed and the camera may
take a longer time to focus (phase-difference detection generally allows
faster AF focusing). For details, refer to the Canon website.
