In canon 1000D, how to do live view?quick af or live af?

hi i have a canon eos 1000d , id like to use the live view, can you put the dial other than P, i want to use the auto focus feature ...if i use the live view mode, they say there are two choices QUICK AF or LIVE AF which is better? i want convenience of use , as when i travel i could just let anyone shoot a picture of me easily just like a digital Point and Shoot... but id like an autofocus with it i tried some but its not as clear (blurry) as using the viewfinder.. i would like it to act as P&S if i need to especially for those instances...

how?

    Page 95. Read your manual. Live AF would be my guess, but you are really taking a chance using live view anyway. You are always best to use the eye piece. Show them how to use your camera and then hand it to them. People aren't stupid.
