It also adjusts focus automatically by detecting whether the subject is still or moving
How to use auto mode:
Before taking a photo or video, ensure that the lens is securely attached and that the battery and SD card are in place.
Use the power switch to turn the camera on.
Rotate the dial on the top right to the [A]+ or the flash off symbol. This will initiate the automatic photography mode.
