Using the Sony A7rII for the first time for 2 days. Advices needed

Hallo,

i'm here tryng to have suggestions for a Sony A7rII that i'll have tomorrow for 2 days for filming interviews for a documentary. I'm a Nikon DSLR user but i'm scared something is wrong with my Nikon and a photographer friend of mine tomorrow will give to me his Sony A7r2 for a couple of days. I've never been a Sony Alpha user so tonight i'll try to grab the most information on how to use it in video mode(my friend uses it for photographic purposal and he never has filmed a second of video). I'm gonna use it for interviews on a tripod and the talent will be lit by 2 led panels with softbox. On my nikon d7100 i used to film in Flat Profile (Flat 11), what kind of flat profile should i set on the A7rII? to achieve the most accurate focus on the eyes of the talent would i trust the automatic Focus or should i go in Manual?
Sorry for the silly question but i'm a little bit scared of this new system. How long would it last without heating for the interview? Any other kind of general suggestion will be highly appreciated
Thank you in advance for the kind help

This seems like kind of a panic situation. At least it would be fore me.

Can't answer your questions; however, there is a Sony web page that might be helpful.
I know, so little time, so much to learn.

Hopefully someone with a bit of knowledge will stop by and help out.
