Anyone using non-auto settings for camera.

Hi,

Would anyone suggest using non-auto settings on the stock camera vs auto for improved pictures. I was in the mountains yesterday, used auto focus and the default settings to capture a picture of a yearling bear cub. Never changed the distance and each of the three pictures came out differently. It was a mostly cloudy to overcast day. I don't take much pictures so that's why the 5 MP camera didn't bother me, but I would like to know of other's experience/settings/apps to improve the stock camera results.

I downloaded an app from Amazon when it was the free app of the day: Photo Enhancer HDR. I forgot I had it and used it to enhance one picture and it was excellent.
