At long last

I've owned a Canon T5i camera for five or six years, and in all that time I've never felt comfortable using it.  The manual was dry, and the books that claimed to make it easier never did.  I should have been referencing YouTube all along.  This afternoon, I found a video that made "focusing squares" make sense.  Press the outside round button at the top right of the camera body, use the wheel to select which square, and then press the inside round button to focus.  Now I get it.  Anything that will get me out of complete auto-mode will be a big help.  Now when the auto-focus insists on the twig in front of the subject I want, I know how to override it.
