The AUTO shooting mode is the simple, point-n-shoot user mode. Icons for Auto flash, SD means there is an optional SecureDigital memory card in the camera. There is space remaining for 98 pictures. Image size is 2048 x 1536 Fine quality. The zoom lens gauge on the left is displayed for a few seconds when changing the focal length.
