First, congrats on your new camera. I hope you enjoy it and the photography you do with it.

My only advice, as someone who switched from Nikon to Canon long ago, is to "reverse" the direction of some of the dials. Because Nikon and Canon had similar controls go in different directions to do the same thing - for example, a shutter speed dial - I found it easier to reverse the direction of the controls. That way when my thumb or finger was used to moving a certain way to raise or lower the shutter speed, it did it the way I was used to. I made the camera work the way my muscle memory had been trained. It was a menu item in their DLRs and I'm sure it must be still in their R lineup.

That made my changeover much easier. It applied to shutter speed, aperture and exposure bias, as I recall. Possibly ISO as well.

Best of luck with your new gear!
