That's a HIGH END point and shoot.....can you turn Auto off?

My dinosaur Sony point and shoot, allowed me to activate the red eye sensor with a half click, this sent some internal signal to the camera brain (for lack of technical verbage) and the lighting came out perfectly (with or with out flash) however, it was an ALL auto camera. Is this any help?
