Do you use the Top LCD on the EOS R?

Re: Do you use the Top LCD on the EOS R?

In the past, I’ve almost never looked at the top LCD on my 6D and 7D mark II, preferring to see the information on the rear panel instead. However, with the R my habit has changed, and I find myself using it often to set the aperture, SS, etc before bringing the camera to my eye.

This is probably because on the R top LCD is the only way to confirm the mode status without turning on the rear panel, whereas on the DSLRs the same function is fulfilled by the mechanical mode dial. Once I do start paying attention to the top LCD, I have a lot less mental resistance against checking and adjusting other settings via the top LCD.
