The only difference, in the way I use it at least, is that you cannot
increase or decrease the exposure so quickly in AUTO. Otherwise, the
systems are complementary.
However, there was a discussion some years ago about the differences
in the metering between AUTO and MANUAL. I can't remember the thrust
of the discussion and I don't think that it was worth
remembering ... :-)
