Digital Photography Basics
Using the auto mode on a digital camera gives you a point and shoot camera that allows you to concentrate on the subject while the camera makes the necessary settings to give you a well exposed and properly focused image.
But like most automatic features, knowing how they function will help you keep the camera from getting fooled in those special situations that often yield the most dramatic photos…. such as back lighting, or when your main subject is off-center.
In this section we look at the four main components of the automatic mode … focus, exposure, white balance and flash.
