EOS R7 with current firmware: I have downloaded the 900+ page user guide on my PC and my phone, and it is very useful. However, I am not fond of the amount of time I am spending trying to FIND a setting (e.g., even something simple like battery level) especially since I am still learning how to use the camera and all its potential applications.
I am tempted to take photos of each screen for each setting on the dial (e.g, AE, Fv, etc) so I can more quickly figure out where THAT one setting I am looking for actually is.
OR...better...does this exist already on the Canon site?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I suggest setting up custom menus with your most commonly used settings.

Thank you! I am suffering from info overload - wish there were an AI feature to help with the learning (aka “the hard way”) curve.

If ChatGPT has ingested the Canon manuals, you might be able to ask it questions like "Tell me how to do HDR on an R3"
Of course, it might hallucinate and tell you how to do it on a Sony, while insisting the instructions were for Canon...

Agree! I just have to figure out what those are. Have had the camera for 14 days…
