IPhone 5 camera only focusing when something is really close to the camera

IPhone 5 camera only focusing when something is really close to the camera!

You can refocus the camera by tapping on the screen while you have the camera on (not video though). The focus depends on what you tap on the screen. If the object is far, the camera will try to focus to that object. If the object is close, it will focus to that. If an object is close enough, the iPhone will automatically attempt to focus on its own.

Do you have macro mode enabled? Don't have an iPhone so i can't help much, but that seems to be teh problem. Dig though the camera settings and see if macro mode is enabled.

if not, and tapping on the screen on something far away doesn't focus on it, then you might have to reset the phone.
