I've had EOS R for couple months now but only just recently have started to mess with FV mode.

I think it might just become my favourite mode on EOS R.

I usually shoot in AV or M but hate setting aperture with the heavy weighted thumb wheel (old style circular thumb wheel used to be such a joy before on Canon DSLR btw!).

The new FV paradigm I'm finding is a bit more comfortable ergonomically and the horizontal exposure layout makes a lot of sense actually.

I've set bringing back to auto & full auto to the arrow keys as recommended.

Still going to need a little bit of muscle memory to be 100% at ease with this new way of shooting but I think it might be my new default.

I'm curious as to what do others think of FV mode on EOS R/RP?

Its a bit clumsy to change settings though. With manual mode you can touchscreen the exposure parameters and change them. You can't do that in FV mode you have to use the selector.

No, you can do that in Fv mode too. I just checked to make sure.
