Ultra wide angle camera not focusing on iPhone 14 pro max

I have this problem since the update 16.2.

the ultra wide angle camera cannot focus on to the landscapes or anything in the background, however it can focus on the macro shots. But, at the moment of reviewing the pictures they are a complete mess. Attached the evidence.

Any advice?

iPhone 12 camera is not focusing properly unless the zoom is set below 1x Up to now it has been fine, but suddenly my iPhone camera will not focus unless the zoom is set to below 1x. Any ideas on how to fix this? I’ve downloaded the latest update. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
