Hello, I bought an EOS R100 kit with the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM lenses. Can anyone recommend a user guide or video for someone new to the camera?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ok nice! You'll want to optimize the camera for landscape. Usually that means having a large depth of field.You can do this manually or let the camera handle it - https://cam.start.canon/en/C015/manual/html/UG-02_BasicShooting_0060.html. You may also want to tweak color settings- https://cam.start.canon/en/C015/manual/html/UG-06_Shooting-1_0140.html
If you want to focus on an animal in the scene you should use focus tracking, especially if they're moving. https://cam.start.canon/en/C015/manual/html/UG-04_AF-Drive_0030.html
Also add servo AF- https://cam.start.canon/en/C015/manual/html/UG-04_AF-Drive_0020.html#AF-Drive_0020_2

Hi and welcome to the forum:
As regards coming to grips with your new camera, to add to the excellent offerings from my colleagues, you may want to check out some of the following tutorials:

As a wildlife photographer myself, I suggest that for a safari trip, you contact the organizers and ask them what kit you should be using. Not long ago, I coached a couple who went on safari and from the photos they returned with, they were taking many of their shots in the 600mm range and above. Frankly, I suspect that with the gear you have it might be better to rent a separate kit and look at something like an EOS R6II and the RF 200-800, or the Sigma 60-600s. Your RF-S 55-210 is likely to be way short for many opportunities.
