Once you take a picture in auto mode view the picture themselef and look at the details if the details is not shown by default, click the preview button several times until the details show up

alternatively you can Use the P mode.
It's essentially the same as auto mode but with more flexibility.

  1. While shooting - when you half-press the shutter button you can see the information inside the viewfinder (small numbers on the bottom of the viewfinder)

  2. In camera preview - when you see the picture on the back of the camera you can view this information, press DISP to toggle showing information.

  3. On the computer - in Windows right click the photo select "Properties" and switch to the "Details" tab, on a Mac right click than "Get Info". you can also see this in just about any image editor
