When choosing the photos, you can hover the cursor over the Auto button or press the Minus (-) button to automatically choose your photos. This feature submits the highest scoring snap and new poses for evaluation.
Use Auto Select if you have a lot of photos taken and want to submit the ones that will give the most expedition points for your Research Level.
How to Use Auto Select Efficiently
Running a course on the highest available Research Level doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get all the obtainable poses so far in the course as some Pokemon only appear on certain Research Levels. If you think you've captured all poses of each Pokemon, try setting the Research Level to a lower one by hovering over the course and pressing X to see if you can find any Pokemon poses that you might have missed!
