Point and shoot cameras are fully automatic cameras intended to be used without any concern for settings. The user does not need to set the shutter speed or aperture, does not have to be aware of film speed, and does not need to own or use a light meter.

Most modern point-and-shoot cameras use autofocus, however there are still some point-and-shoot cameras produced today (as there were years ago) that use a wide-angle lens with set focus and small aperture to get past the need for focus adjustment.
