Canon’s user interface is superb. The Canon R10 has the same tab-based menu system as other newer models in the R series, like the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R8. It’s well laid out and easy to navigate using the touchscreen, command dials, or joystick. There are also many customization options and a quick menu to access commonly used settings, not to mention a guide mode to provide detailed explanations of more complex settings.
If you want to transfer photos to your phone easily, the Canon Camera Connect app connects the camera to your phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; you can see a sample of the interface here. You can transfer files or control the camera remotely with a Wi-Fi connection. Unlike many other camera apps, you can still use and adjust the settings on the camera itself while using the app for Live View/remote control. That said, the Live View function and even shutter release through the app have a significant lag. If you own a compatible Canon printer, like the Canon SELPHY Square QX10, you can also connect directly to the SELPHY Photo Layout app and print your photos right away. See a brief video tour of the Canon Camera Connect app here.
The camera also has many auto-shooting modes, though not to the same overly-streamlined degree as the more explicitly beginner-oriented Canon EOS R100. The ‘A+’ (Scene Intelligent Auto) mode is the fully automatic shooting mode, in which the camera assesses the scene and automatically chooses the right settings for you. You can also access the ‘Creative Assist’ mode in the menu, which allows you to edit RAW images with a set of built-in effects before saving them as JPEGs.
