How good is the camera when shooting in auto

Good! Good??? Good is a relative term, what part of good do you wish to learn about? Believe me, this camera is 'good' at just about anything you want to do with it!

By reading the answers it seems you are a novice without much experience with photography. Use the auto settings. You cannot do better unless you take some classes on photography. Which I recommend you do if you can. Most Community Colleges have Photography classes for pretty cheap.

Because I do a lot of "street" photography, auto works best for me in most situations. Ive found this auto to be pretty decent but it is slower than a DSLR. IF you use burst after the first focus, the rest will be focused the same as the first one.

It works very well in Auto (or Auto+), but if you want to shoot RAW or get creative with your shots, then you will need to use one of the semi-automatic shooting modes or full manual mode (all of which work very, very well too)

Excellent. Sometimes it out thinks itself, then I turn to program mode. Only difficulty is sometimes in macro mode, focus is an issye

Hi Theo, yes and no...this question depends upon how fast is fast and how clear you need the fast moving subject to be. Is slightly out of tune ok, or do you need tack sharp. If tack sharp is your answer then it's no. If slightly out of tune is ok, then yes. I personally use this camera and give it a thumbs up for an all around camera. Fast action shots such as a sports game or stock car, it's ok, Try the auto and program modes, see which results you like best. Use the different settings this camera offers. Try panning the camera with the subject. Read some articles on this subject and some reviews on this camera, it may give you some insight as to, how to...hope this helps.

I have taken some good pictures with it. You have to use it in manual mode. I'm not a lazy person so I don't mind using manual mode.

Yes, I have been very impressed with the low light pictures. The only complaint I have is you can't force the flash on in auto if you want some fill in light. However, you can force the flash on in other modes.

Make sure your auto focus was on and check your settings if low light. This camera is awesome if aettings are tight highly recomed reading the whole manuel

I've taken great shots indoors and outdoors. There are several different mode selections you can use but even the auto adjusts pretty well.

Exceedingly well for exposure. Auto mode for video is average to slow, but this isn't a camera designed with video in mind. Full Program, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority all work very well and yield exceptional images.

I mostly use auto mode, and my pictures are generally of good quality. One feature it has that I really like is an easy,quick, convenient way to increase or decrease exposure by up to three stops.

I'm an amateur and use the camera mostly for shooting rock concerts. I'm able to get decent shots in low light. The major issue I have is that it takes a while for the auto-focus to lock in these conditions. So a lot of time I miss shots while the AF is locking. I'm usually using the camera in shutter priority @ 1/30th with flash off and ISO at auto.

Depends. It's a little slow if you want to use autofocus on action shots but amazing depth of field and sharp images. But if it's bright light and you have some experience tracking moving objects, I'd say it's a great choice.

The body has up to 1/6000 shutter speed and a pretty fast auto focus so it is very capable for shooting fast moving objects. There is an action freeze auto mode but i would learn how to use manual settings to achieve best shots. You may need to consider an additional lens specific to your need as the kit lens is an all around lens but there are plenty of choices. I have almost every lens for this system and love it all. highly recommend this camera. Easy for any body to pick up and take a shot on auto but has features desirable for high end photography too.

This was my upgrade from a point and shoot. So far I've mostly used auto mode but looking forward to learning more. I feel this camera gives me tons off room to grow. Look for a guide like Beyond Auto Mode.

You can enable continuous shooting in auto mode, and it will take pictures very quickly, so there will not be a delay.

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

You should have no problems. Device can be invaluable in checking exposure when shooting in bright outdoor environments. If you shoot in manual this can be a life saver. Quite frankly, anyone shooting primarily in auto should not waste the money.

With good light it takes about 5 pictures per second, autofocus is not very fast but very good for such a low price camera. The iso is high enough for taking pictures at low light without using flash.

Thanks, Philip. I kept mine, still really pleased. Learned that shooting in "Auto" is my best friend right now (clear crisp photos at any distance from macro to nearly all zoom), but glad to hear the "shaken when stirred" is not a sign of something wrong, or about to go wrong. Best wishes.
