is there an "automatic" picture taking option for my lazy moments?

Automatic picture taking function? Well... You need to push the shutter release button, but you can set the mode to auto exposure, program, etc.

Nope. And this is the wrong camera for you if you want that available. The Nikon 610 would be a better choice in full frame or the 7100 in DX. This is for photographers who are thinking about what they want in every shot. The only "autopilot" feature is the ISO but you can get into deep trouble and bad habits relying on only that variable.

Yes there is. Set the exposure dial to "P". This is the programed (automatic) mode.

mmmm it doesn't have a preset for shooting no, but put it in aperture priority and you're good to go. with this camera, you don't want presets. hard to explain unless you;re holding it and using it. i'm shooting pro with this baby with the 70-200 2.8 and it's a dream. i do wish it had more focus points and i don't like the card slot at the bottom of the camera. not deal breakers, but it is a little annoying at times. at the end of the day, the photo is what matters and this camera is truly helps me take stunning pics - every time. i've had this camera since december.

There is no full auto mode. You may be better off with an excellent DX camera like the D5300.

Easy to do but not necessarily fast; I no longer own an Ipad so I can't test it but I wouldn't recommend if you frequently need the camera.

You can skip or view the previous photo using the arrow buttons. You can change how long the photo is displayed in the Photo Setup option in the Settings menu. Hope that helps! :)

Yes you can. Pressing the shutter button half way will focus and then press it rest of the way to take picture(s)

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

Yes, you can. There is a toggle mode where it stays on one camera for 5 or 10 seconds and then switches to the other. It's nice that it's automatic!

Set it on full auto - red with "iA" in the center. The computer will take multiple pictures and then merge them together for one good photo. You really have to hold the camera steady, though. Like you would for a very long shutter speed.

Nope. Once you've set it (turn it on), as I recall, everything is automatic. As with any new touch-screen device it may take awhile for you to get the hang of the menu operation but once you've played with it for a day or two you'll have it down and some of the features are not the kinda stuff that a "regular" point-and-shoot photographer should be playing with anyway....they won't help produce a better shot in the context of how I use the camera, at least. There are about ten settings I even care about and once I've set them, I pretty much forget about them. Hope this is useful to you.

Turning the wheel on top to 'M' allows for manually setting shutter speed and etc. with the built in software. I've never used it but it can be done.

Yea you can set it up that way. You can also email or direct link to what ever device that has the samsung smart camera app which will automatically send the pic you take after taking the shot via wifi.

I don't have the camera in front of me right now, but I know you can chose aperature or shutter priority. You can also do a +-2 on exposure. I don't believe you can have full manual exposure control.

Manually...... I like that some cameras the flash just go's off and screws up the picture with to much light

I don't know. I bought this camera as a birthday gift, and I can't even check now if it has this feature. The manual does not mention it.

Looking for the same thing... to be able to automatically update pictures on a picture frame remotely for parents and grandparents.

Yes. The "M" setting on the dial allows you to set ISO, aperture, shutter, etc. manually.

No on both accounts. However, there is a solution for Time Elapsed Photography for this camera, which if I understand your question correctly, it is what you want to do. Therefore, look up the Tempus TimeElapse Remote. It's an IR blinker that you place infront of the camera and set the camera to remote and it will take a picture every time it blinks.

I don't shoot in Auto. Sorry. It is simple to use in manual mode. I love this camera! But I am also a photographer with professional cameras.
