Step 3—Adjust camera settings
In automatic mode, the user can adjust flash, focus, exposure
compensation, and image quality. The default settings, which
produce the best results in most circumstances, are automatic flash,
autofocus, no exposure compensation, an image quality of “nor-
mal,” and an image size of “full” (1,600
×
1,200 pixels).

These settings allow the camera to set focus automatically at any
distance greater than 30cm (one foot). The camera measures the
available light and adjusts shutter speed and aperture accordingly,
firing the flash to provide additional light as necessary.
