The only situation that I have discovered is when a relation wanted to take a snapshot of us with my camera. Trying to explain BBF was not an otption, setting the camera to auto mode fixed that, without changing any of my settings. So, short answer is no, except of course if you use manual focus lenses, and then it doesn't matter either.
My camera doesn't have an Auto mode, so when I hand the camera to someone for a picture that I want to be in, I say, "Push this button to focus and this button to take the picture". Most people get it.
