Can't get the full focus mode

I have a D5600, and lately, I can't get the full focus mode with the options:

AF-A (Auto-servo AF)
AF-S (Single-servo AF)
AF-C (Continuous-servo AF)
MF (Manual focus)
Instead, I get a menu with the options:
AF-S (Single-servo AF)
AF-F (Full-time servo AF)
MF (Manual focus)

Exit LiveView. AF-continuous is only available with phase detect which is detected off-sensor. AF-A makes no sense if AF-C is not available. Thus you are seeing all autofocus options available for LiveView.

LiveView should be just a button or maybe a lever on back of camera. You still can use the screen for menu options. What LiveView does is raise the mirror and open the shutter and behaves like it does while while shooting video. The viewfinder becomes blocked and features/operation change. That is why you lose autofocus options. I never used a D5600 so the rest is up to you to consult your user manual.

Thank you all.
I solved the problem by resetting the settings, a factory reset, by pressing and holding the 2 buttons by the 2 green dots (the MENU and the info buttons).
Now I can get the full focus mode with all the options, although I'm in Live view.
