i had an instructor tell me the same thing in a class last week, and at first I was really confused because I had always been under the impression that the photo is only mine if i set everything myself. Still, I tried using autofocus for a while and found that its really helpful for me especially when I'm using a very shallow depth of field and need to focus on a very small point. Since I started using autofocus I've become very reliant on it, which in my opinion is not a good thing, and when i do switch it to manual and forget to change it back to auto I have messed up several photos by forgetting to focus.
