How about this for rephrasing your question.

See which one or all of these is/are what you were trying to figure out.

1) How does the "automatic" differ between the two procedures?
2) How does the aiming point procedure differ from the Flip release procedure?
3) Since both procedures - aiming point (a fixed plane line point controlled procedure) and Flip Release (moving body controlled procedure) are methods for controlling the release point of the release and can control/produce any release point from full sweep to snap - I'm curious how the snap release would be different between the two?
