You guys probably know what is auto mode. Right ? Those who don't know and the beginner photographer I want to say that maybe you already can guess the function of auto mode by it's name auto . This mode will provides you an auto function system by your camera . So when you take photos with this mode your camera will do all the work and gives you a final image . You don't need to do anything, just grab your camera and press the shutter button .
Probably you think this feature is quite good because you don't have to do anything by yourself . But that's not really the truth is , in photography you are the photographer, you tell your camera to do this setting or change that settings for a good contrasty looking photo, or shallow depth of field but in auto mode you can't do anything at all .
You can not change your shutter speed when you want to capture a high speed object maybe your camera giving you a slower shutter speed , or maybewmaybe you need your aperture at maximum wide open for the bokeh or the background blur I mean the shallow depth of field at that time maybe you are not getting that wide open aperture .
I told you before that this mode do all the work for yourself and will give you and final image and the format of this image is JPEG ( jpg ) , which is great for share Instantly but as a photographer you maybe want to change few things or colour correct the image in post processing . But in this JPEG format you can't do anything in Post processing , I mean you can but the image loses a lot of lots of details or colour or maybe the image has too much noise . You still need Raw format to do this which is not possible in automode .
In a DSLR or Mirrorless there are few others mode with the auto mode, but in a smartphone phone there is only one mode which is the manual mode or few manufacturers called it a pro mode .

| Left - Manual Mode Right- Auto Mode |
As you can see in this 2 photos first one is Manual and the 2nd one is the Auto mode. There is not a big difference but you can see in manual mode there is 5 extra options at the right side which is focus , white balance , shutter button , iso , and the exposer value . You can't see a option for aperture value cause maybe you already know that smartphone's aperture is fixed you can't change it .
So the point is that if you want to get really good photos or you to become a photographer then you have to do is to get out of your auto mode , and use the other modes for the controls you want for a particular photo. And practice those mode regularly. And you have to keep in mind all the basic things for photography which you can check here. That's it about this post.
