pick the online simulator for the camera you'll be using and you can get familiar with the menu system:

Keep it simple, remember the 180 shutter angle (mindful of if you're 50Hz or 60Hz wherever you are), shoot to ProRes 444, try not to go over 1600 ISO (even better, shoot at 800 ISO), and remember to white balance correctly.
