When shooting pictures with the fully automatic, or Programmed AE, mode the camera automatically sets the f-number and shutter speed based on the brightness of the subject. All you do is take the picture.
You can set a specific ISO speed, or leave the default at Auto.
Note: Use this shooting method to concentrate on picture composition, without worrying about exposure.
