Been shooting bands on my Canon R50. Needed full frame and 45mp but can’t afford the R5 Mark II that I desperately would love to have. Settled for the original R5 for half the price.

Setting it up last night I realized that Face+Tracking is its own AF method and can’t simply be combined with the other AF areas the way I’m used to on my R50. Wtf?? This is a HUGE hit for the type of photography I shoot, and despite researching it, I wasn’t aware of this limitation before buying the R5.

I learned I can use a selected AF point/area and then use a customized AF-ON button to engage Face+Tracking, but the bands I shoot are rock bands and I need immediate, reliable tracking while dealing with mic stands, people’s hands, other faces jumping into the frame, etc. With Face+Tracking across the frame, I’m worried about it jumping to the wrong subject or searching when there’s a lot happening in front of the performer. I’m worried even with the AF-ON button I won’t be quick enough to get my shot. That’s a whole extra step.

Am I missing something? To be completely fair, I’m testing it tonight at a gig to know for sure, but am I wrong to be suspicious that this may not be the best camera for what I do?

I’m still learning and relatively new to photography, so be gentle, but I was SO upset trying it around the house on my husband and realizing I can’t use eye detection within a smaller AF area the way I expected to. 😭😭😭

INFJ/woman/42. Also ADHD. Married with 2 teenagers. On vacation that we all desperately need and we all love each other tremendously. Beaches are great but I’m not wired to love or thrive in the chaos of the sand, heat, gazillion items to be responsible for and the only one who feels compelled to be thorough in making sure all the little things are accounted for. I can’t swim, I get overly stimulated easily. We brought our dog who is like a toddler and is my soul dog…. He has anxiety and takes time to acclimate to new places and situations. It doesn’t bother me but no one else wants him here. Otherwise it would have cost a fortune to board and I was thinking of that too when I pushed for him to come.

Long story but when it comes to family dynamics and schedules and vacations- I feel high strung and I feel like I get on everyone else’s nerves. I feel like I’m “too much”…. Too cautious about sunscreen, too cautious about rip currents, too worried about making sure everything is covered and accounted for and all kids are safe and acting responsibly. I have a hard time sometimes with transitions but I’m trying to be positive although I’ve failed in that. I just feel like other people think I’m miserable to be around.

They are pissed the dog came but he’s been fine except for trying to acclimate- and they don’t like eating outside at restaurants because of the dog and stuff like that. We all knew going into it what it was going to be. So I feel like I’m a burden and too much and by extension my dog adds to that.

I just want to go take pictures and ride my bike and be out of their hair. I’m not spontaneous or throw caution to the wind type of person. I just want peace. I just want consideration for important things…. Like making sure sunscreen or water is on the beach bag- no one else thinks of these things and I’m freaking exhausted. And when I bring it up I feel like the wet blanket and the one being a stick in the mud.

It’s like everyone’s personalities gets cranked up to 1000 while on vacation.

How do you INFJ people deal with this, overcome the tension, make happy family vacations despite the discrepancy in personalities.

As it stands I just want to take my dog and vacation alone. Maybe that would be preferred by them too.

I want to share an experience I had that I can only describe as a moment of true spiritual discernment and recognition. In sharing this, I am also curious about other experiences by Christians with demonic powers/encounters or people afflicted by demons. I’d love to hear your experiences as I believe through my faith that it has happened and still happens. I think in order to believe this happens, one first has to acknowledge the reality of the spiritual realm. As some in society continue to disregard the existence of God, it’s no surprise that the idea of demonic possession is sometimes seen as antiquated or myth or is rationalized away by medical or scientific explanations. That’s why I’m posting and asking here. The Bible is clear we don’t fight flesh and blood but powers and principalities.

I believe in the reality of mental illness, but I also firmly believe that there are people afflicted by real demonic influences. This encounter was something I cannot explain through a natural lens.

I was at a park in San Diego, when I noticed a man lingering around the public bathrooms. The moment we made eye contact, there was an immediate, mutual acknowledgment between us. It felt like a lightbulb reaction went off in him the second he saw me. It was the scariest feeling I have ever experienced because it felt as though we completely saw each other spiritually.
He didn't bother anyone else around me—his focus was entirely and exclusively on me. He immediately started walking directly toward me, saying "God isn’t real" and yelling blasphemous statements. I felt a profound sense that whatever dark spirit was inside of him instantly recognized the presence of the Holy Spirit inside of me, and it was reacting defensively to that spiritual presence. As this was happening, I immediately thought about the account of Legion in the Bible, and how that possessed man was relegated to the tombs, completely cut off and isolated from society. As he followed me for a few feet but then turned back to the bathrooms once I was far enough away. Like he was in an invisible barrier.

I have been around many people with severe mental health issues before, but this was completely different. It was an unexplainable, targeted, and immediate spiritual recognition on both of our parts. Because of that discernment, I knew right away that I needed to leave the area quickly, and I immediately removed myself from the situation. I’ve never experienced this before or since. I do regularly have very accurate spiritual discernment in other areas and situations, but no other experience like this one.

I’m from the Southern United States. Recently moved to an Appalachian area. My triggers are usually inconsistent but there are some things that I have ALWAYS had that absolutely make me go into instant nuclear rage mode.

Even as a southerner I don’t speak in these ways.

Does anyone else with misophonia or sensory issues get irrationally triggered by certain dialects or speech patterns specifically?

Mine are VERY specific and it’s not about hating people — it’s the actual sound patterns/pronunciation changes that make my brain feel like it’s short-circuiting. Certain dropped consonants, altered grammar structures, or heavily modified pronunciations genuinely make me feel physically agitated and unable to focus on anything else being said.

For me, Appalachian dialect features (like dropping ending consonants/sounds), some Dutch/Netherlands English pronunciations, and some AAVE speech patterns trigger it the most intensely. Once I notice it, my brain hyper-fixates and I can’t “unhear” it. It is gratingggggggg.

Examples:

- “He be working” instead of “He is usually working”
- “I been knew that” instead of “I’ve known that for a long time”
- “finna” instead of “fixing to/about to”
- consonant drops like “ol’” for “old”
- “aks” instead of “ask”
- “I seen him” instead of “I saw him”
- “goal” → “go”
- “whole” → “ho”
- “folder” → “foder”
- “accurate” → “accrate”

I know dialects are culturally and regionally tied, and I’m not trying to insult anyone personally. I’m more curious whether other people with misophonia experience this specifically with speech patterns/language the same way people react to chewing, clicking, repetitive sounds, etc.

It’s weird because it’s not ALL accents. Some accents I actually love. My brain just reacts extremely strongly to certain pronunciation structures and I’ve been this way my entire life.
