The [Auto capture] feature allows the camera to take photos
automatically upon detecting a subject. By selecting the trigger
criteria for auto capture, photographers create what is effectively
an unmanned camera that can take photos automatically. This
allows the photographer to capture the natural expressions of
wildlife without having to be present at the shooting location. You
can also leave one camera at a fixed location for auto capture
while operating another camera by yourself to enjoy shooting the
subjects while framing them in different angles and compositions.
