Answer
It refer to the mode where the camera will set the aperture and shutter speed for you automatically as you depress the shutter button halfway down. Some will also focus automatically. There are a few cameras (Nikon, Canon, Minolta, etc) where the cameras will also set the ISO (film sensitivity) as you install the film, and advance the film AND rewind the film as you take the last photo. Some even come with a feature where the camera will also sense when there's not enough light for a handheld photo (which will cause blurring since the shutter must stay open for a longer period of time, say 1/30th second or longer) and cause the built-in flash to pop up and activate.
Automation makes many SLRs and DSLRs act like point-and-shoot cameras but will yield slightly better results because of the better lenses they have over and above the point-and-shoot consumer level cameras.
By the way, there are two semi-auto modes: one is the aperture priority, where you select the aperture you want the camera to use, and the camera will automatically select the corresponding shutter speed for a correct exposure. The other is the shutter speed priority where you select how long the lens will stay open, and the camera will set the corresponding aperture automatically for a correct exposure.
Of course, this is really a great feature but it is NOT foolproof and some circumstances require the photographer to know when and how to override all the automation, and when to use the pop-up flash for fill-in light (like to avoid a silhouette if the subject is standing with the light or sun coming from behind him/her...). Also, there are situations where the automatic focus mechanism can be fooled by the background designs or details, or even the foreground objects, like the bars of a cage and you want to focus on the animal that is a few feet further back instead).
Good luck and best wishes.

Cameras...what to buy?!?
Kerr
I have always loved photography and have always tried to take amazing pictures with the camera i have (not a very good one!) and i have also been told i have an 'eye' for taking photos. I am going to South Africa in December and i am cage diving with Great White Sharks. A lot of time will be spent on the boat and i want a camera so i can take photos of the sharks, whales, seals etc that breach the water and also take photos of the amazing views in Cape Town. I would like a DSLR camera that's good but i don't have a huge amount of money and i am hoping to spend £300-400. Hopefully in the future i will be able to afford a better camera but im hoping you will be able to give me advice on cameras in that price range. Thanks for your help!
