Tutorial for Sony A7R IV?

Greetings all:
I am moving from an A7RII to A7RIV. The new camera is due to be shipped Friday. Can anyone suggest a tutorial or third party book? I am 83 and learning to use a new camera has been a bit of a struggle lately. I also use a Fuji GFX 50R which I have now had for a year and a half, and still screw things up from time to time. The Fuji book does not even have an index. If anyone out there made a similar switch, are the two camera operations similar? Any glaring operational differences? I have an oversized eye cup, and hopefully it can be swapped with the new camera. I also have a Kirk quick release plate (NOT an L bracket), and I assume it will not fit. Using the GFX 50R and Fuji lenses lately, I must say the combination produces the sharpest and best images I have ever made in all my years in photography. It produces stunning 24"x32" prints. I am hoping the A7RIV will come close. But I know that also involves the highest quality lenses, and I am not sure my Sony and Zeiss lenses are up to it.
TIA

I can recommend this one from Gary Friedman

I don't have the specific A7Riv book (since I don't have that camera) but all his books that I have used from him are very helpful since he clearly explains why and how stuff works in a very practical manner. He also explains his own settings as well as how to set it up differently for different shooting conditions.
