Responsive, high precision AF system to capture a sharp, chrisp, image of the subject in a wide range of photographic scenes:
By incorporating a hybrid AF system - which harmonizes the advantages of a contrast-detect AF sensor and an image-plane phase-matching AF sensor - the PENTAX K-70 assures responsive,
high-accuracy autofocus operation during Live View shooting using the LCD monitor. The optical viewfinder provides a large, clear image field with an approx 100% field of view, allowing you to keep the subject in sight at all times.

and it's also listed as a 'Main Feature' in the FAQ section..
*Hybrid AF system
Combination of the phase-matching AF and contrast detection AF works as high-speed AF operation during Live View shooting.
and again in the 'Specifications for the Auto Focus system' in the FAQ section..
The specification of AF System shooting with Live View
Type Hybrid AF *1 = TTL Phase–matching AF + Contrast-detecting AF
*1 To assimilate a contrast-detection AF sensor with superior focusing accuracy and a phase-matching AF sensor positioned on the image sensor’s surface, this innovative hybrid system optimizes the benefits of both AF systems to assure high-speed, pinpoint AF focusing on the subject.
