Hello Rick, My basic understanding is the the Auto mode makes it's own determination to fire when the camera decides there is not enough light. The lightning bolt on means that the flash will fire. So if you wanted to do a little fill in reasonable ambient light, the Auto mode would not fire because there was enough light. If the light level is low enough, then both modes would behave the same.
