Iphone 14 pro ultra wide not focusing

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 14 Pro, iOS 16
