[Tex/LaTex] Parenthesis while using subfig and autoref

Question

You could use \renewcommand\thesubfigure{(\alph{subfigure})}, as shown below.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[labelformat=simple]{subfig}
\renewcommand\thesubfigure{(\alph{subfigure})}
\newcommand{\subfigureautorefname}{\figureautorefname}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
 \subfloat[]{
 \centering
 \rule{30pt}{20pt}
 \label{fig:firstpic}
 }
 \hfill
 \subfloat[]{
 \centering
 \rule{30pt}{20pt}
 \label{fig:secondpic}
 }
 \caption{}
\end{figure}

\autoref{fig:firstpic} and \autoref{fig:secondpic}

\end{document}

Note that \autoref is from the \hyperref package.
