Older Photographers
Our take
Hello, seasoned photographers! As I approach 60, I find myself navigating the challenges of using my camera effectively, especially when it comes to my eyesight. I can see well at a distance, but I struggle with reading the camera screen without my readers. While the viewfinder on my R7 works fine, switching between my glasses and the camera settings has become a bit cumbersome.
Hi, older photographers! I'm approaching 60 now and struggling with how to use my camera as far as eyesight goes. I can see fine at a distance but need readers to see the screen on the camera. I can see through the viewfinder on my R7 fine but then cannot see the screen to look at the picture and change settings. I'm trying to figure out how to take my glasses off and on and where to put them, push them up on my head, etc.
Just wondering if anyone has any good tips for me?
Thanks!

- How to shoot with sunglasses on?I just bought my first proper camera, an OM-5 Mark II, and I absolutely love it. But I ran into an issue on a two week trip to Albania. It was very sunny, so I wore prescription sunglasses and used the viewfinder. The problem is that I cannot accurately see colours that way. My prescription is around minus ten, so going without glasses is not an option, also I can't wear contacts. I bought this camera mainly for travel and vacations, which are exactly the situations where I will almost always be wearing sunglasses. Right now I ended up shooting everything on auto, which feels like it defeats the purpose of getting a more advanced camera. Has anyone dealt with something similar or found a good workaround? I am starting to wonder if this kind of photography setup is actually going to work for me. submitted by /u/OkeLatenWeGaan [link] [comments]
