Full-Auto is the camera’s standard operating mode and is suited for use in almost any situation. When selected, the camera sets the focus and exposure automatically and fires the built-in flash when necessary. Use Full-Auto when you are just starting out or when you are shooting under conditions that would require you to constantly adjust the focus and/or exposure.
