or if you activate it, you can hit AF-ON button, while in video mode, it will trip the shutter, AF, and then go back to liveview so you can continue to frame your shot.

Yeah, just make sure "quick LV AF mode" is enabled as upposed to face detect or contrast detect. This will allow the camera to flip down the mirror, focus, and then flip back up the mirror to enable live view.

Thanks for all the tips guys. Anyone have suggestions for shutter speed vs. FPS? I'm still trying to understand these settings.
