Whoa, before you graduate to ff, you have to learn the creative modes. It's almost a requirement!

Start by leaving it in AV mode for a few days and using the dial to try some different apertures. Small number, small depth of field. Large, large.

Then try shutter priority (TV). And mess around with different shutter speeds.

Then and only then are you admitted to full frame, grasshopper!

I'm already using M... I would not buy a DSLR if it wasn't to use the Av, Tv and M modes.

Sorry, I thought that you said you weren't using the creative modes:

What I don't use

  • Touchscreen
    Sorry, but I can't use it. I prefer to use the camera buttons.
  • Flip screen
    Too much time to flip the screen for a quick shot and then you need to change to live view... Forget about it. Ah, and yes, I tried to take selfies with the camera. #stupid, I know.
  • Creative modes

Happy shooting with your new camera!
