1. An auto framing method applied to a camera apparatus with an image receiver and a screen, the auto framing method comprising:
receiving a detection image from the image receiver;
computing a feature distance between the image receiver and at least one identification feature of the detection image;
switching a framing mode of the screen into a normal mode or a single mode in accordance with a comparison result of the feature distance and a predefined distance threshold;
setting a preset step count and a preset frame interval to compute a coordinate variation of the identification feature when position difference between a current focus area and a cropping area generated by the framing mode conforms to a predefined difference condition; and
utilizing the coordinate variation to acquire an area variation of the cropping area, and scaling the cropping area to a target resolution for displaying on the screen in accordance with the area variation.
