I like seeing the black squirrel. I've never seen one like that where I live in Oregon. It looks like the autofocus locks on real good. I disabled my manual focus on my Canon M50 Mark II camera. That was so annoying because I would accidentally hit that ring (whatever it is called) and it would mess me up. Finally someone told me how to stop it in the menu. What a relief. These cameras do so well with the autofocus (much better than I could ever do with manual focus). I'm using the nine center cross-type points on both the DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

We used to not have black squirrels around here but they have been expanding their range over the last 20 years.
