I've found there are two big things you can do to achieve better pics w/ the TP. The first is to turn off auto white balance. Try to select what is appropriate for the shot you're planning to take or at least use the sunlight setting for all shots as a bare minimum if you don't have time to switch it around. The other thing may or may not be controllable but the amount of light is THE main reason why a picture will come out good or not. If at all possible, use the most amount of lighting. I can take pictures of people in motion with NO blur outdoors, but if someone is even just breathing hard in a dim room, the subject will be blurry.
