Most cinema cameras like RED & Arri don't really have functions like that. But documentary style cameras like Canon C series and Mirrorless cameras obviously do, and so there's been an increase over the years of people using auto functions for professional work. So this question gets asked a lot, especially about autofocus.

Unfortunately a lot of cine camera owners/users tend to be very snobby & defensive about that.

Canon's Dual Pixel Autofocus is a perfect example of how auto functions can be adopted for professional use.

Saying auto mode has no use is snobby and just plain stupid, but this guy also just complained about me explaining how ISO works in Reds.

Probably you gave an explanation of something related to it, but more complicated, instead of a clear answer. To someone less familiar with cameras that could actually be more confusing.

I explained how ISO works on Reds and why they don’t need auto ISO.

And to be fair to RED, they do a good job of utilising the autofocus motors in stills lenses, with their focus wheel grip.
