The camera basically does it all for you, taking point and click to a whole new level. The Smart AUTO setting will detect and analyze all the factors in your image and adjust for them so that the result compensates for brightness, distance, colors, movement and more. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor also uses a database of photos to better adjust for whatever scene you or person you are trying to shoot.
