Ugh, no. Full auto mode isn't all you need because you won't learn anything by having the camera do everything for you. Use the creative modes and learn by your mistakes. 5D, Drebel, EOS-3, K1000

First, you need to make sure you understand what are "shutter speed" and "aperture". Only after you've understood those concepts can you begin to understand the exposure modes - there's no shortcuts here. - Kalle

Use the creative modes and learn by your mistakes. agree with you don't use the green box.. first off your results will be under par. and it will take you longer to understand your camera and ultimately get the results you're wanting.. I suggest starting with AV set your ISO.. if your outside with lots of light 100 or 200 will be fine, if inside start with 800.. have fun, keep in mind that your camera is pretty complex it's not a point and shoot. good luck...

You just wasted money on everything if that's all you'll stick to. There are better auto modes that include more user control than that. Go UCLA
