Here is my spin on what may happen when you let the camera make artistic decisions for you. 

The green animal was about the size of my thumb. 

The camera decided that the window screen was the most important part of the
image that should be in focus.  Click on the image to see how well the camera
recorded the screen instead of what I expected. 

The camera is a Nikon 4300 that I purchased in 2003 -- something you buy
now or later could have better software.  YMMV
