autofocus
Lens adjusts itself
Autofocus is a camera system that automatically adjusts the lens to bring subjects into sharp focus, freeing the photographer from manual focusing.
Most modern cameras and smartphones use autofocus by default.
The term also works as a verb: The camera autofocused on her face.
As an adjective: an autofocus lens.
