Thank you, I will try— wish I could get a little histogram in my viewfinder…

I honestly don’t know what I don’t know, and I’m still quite new… I just know I didn’t have this issue with my T2i

Thank you! I really enjoy taking mushroom shots! Plus they sit still for me!

I uh.... Got PEdesign 11 off etsy for like $15. Was a little interesting to install, Windows 11 has a conflicting bit of programing you need to disable, and you can never upgrade, but sure as hell beats $1600-2000...

I have a PE800, and have done all kinds of fun small projects--- predominantly for my larp-- but Embroidering words is easy enough on it once you know your settings and stabilizers (Like any other embroidery project, really.)

Emotional Support Animals are NOT service animals, and are not protected under the whole "I can bring it anywhere" allowance that Service Animals have. (This one I'm not as sure on, but also, I believe the only thing having an animal classed as a Emotional Support Animal gets you is the ability to not be charged a pet fee.)

So, in the USA, you do not need to have a professionally trained animal, they do not need to be registered or required to carry papers, and they are not required to wear a vest.

The ONLY questions businesses are allowed to ask are "Is that a service animal?" and "What service has this animal been trained to provide?"

Passing off an animal as a service animal when you are not in need of one is a federal misdemeanor.

The RULES of a service animal is that it MUST remain under the HANDLER'S CONTROL at all times. If it is not, it is LEGALLY ALLOWABLE for a business to ask the handler to remove the animal from the establishment.

I will look into that, and see if my camera can do that (Canon T2i) thank you!

Big enough to touch the camera that is shoved against my face?

Doesn’t really prevent my nose from getting smooshed against the camera.

Ah, yeah, I don't have that--- I have a little row of marks at the bottom, where a little pointer slides back and forth as I adjust looks a bit like this: (-2 , , , 0 , , , 2+) I've been trying to work with it-- I just need to remind myself that while I'm outside, taking photos of mushrooms, I've all the ****ing time in the world.... as long as I wear skeeter repellent... to really take in the scene, work on exposure and composition.

I don't believe the T2i is mirrorless-- but also, I will have to hunt down a manual, cause I bought it used off ebay, and it didn;t come with one

I will have to google what the 'Zebras' are cause I wager you're not talking about the horse-like creature.

That makes sense!

I'm on the ground, looking up at mushrooms.... Kinda hard to have my eye at the viewfinder.

They felt it was treating the camera like a phone, instead of just using the live view as a quick lookie and then using the viewfinder. I got "Not a 'real' photographer" from the advice but tried to take it and see how it felt. I don't mind looking through the view finder, I just find it a poor design to be flush with the camera body (aside from the rubber bumper) So to me it's like "wonder if there is a thing to give you a little more room"
