How can I see and adjust (select) the focus squares when in the PDAF mode when using C-AF. I am using the 40-150 F2.8 which I assume supports PDAF mode and shooting ins C-AF, sequential mode

Just like in any other mode.

Choose ESP, 9-point, normal or small focus point and then move it where you want.

What is ESP?  When I go into the SCP (Super Control Panel) on the back of the camera, I know how to choose 1, 9 or all of the points.  I can only choose the small size focus box in single point focus and I do that by pushing the info button then the down button on the mutli-direction control on the back, which then toggles between 1, 9 or all points. . If I choose 9 point I get a 3x3 box set that I can move around the screen.  I have them centered.

When you are shooting in H sequential mode with C-AF you can see on the screen the PDAF focus pattern.

and from that you can count the normal focus point grid size. So it is three to horizontally or three vertically from the center point when choosing what point to use.

I do not see the above when I switch to live view by clicking the button to the left of the EVF?

If you use C-AF+Trk mode with H sequential and if the tracking gate goes outside of the PDAF area it will start using CDAF until it gets back to PDAF sensor area.

I never use this mode.
