there seems to be two issues:
One is focus-mode getting stacked in "auto" mode and not returning back to "continuous-picture" mode.
This could be reproduced by letting camera settle in "continuous-picture" mode, then tasking camera away and back, camera is restarted in auto mode. Not sure what is best way to reproduce but I was moving camera away while it was trying to refocus at this point and it'd get stacked in "auto" mode and never return to "continuous-picture" mode. Problem can be removed by simply tapping to screen to few objects to initialise auto focus to object and then moving camera around. It will usually go back to "continuous-picture" mode.

Second bug which is described here is when auto detection of macro mode fails to recognise when macro mode should be switched off. camera will still focus correctly when doing closeups but will fail to focus to faraway pictures.
I did not find consistent way to reproduce this or how to recover from that state. Sometimes tasking camera away and then resuming after some time does restores right state.
How to get phone in that state is also not reliable, but at least once I got camera to that state by simply focusing (with tab) to close up objects and then trying far away object, and camera would be in "macro" mode and no matter what would not focus to infinity.

Title:
  Preview and photos are unfocused

Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  BQ Aquarius running stable rtm

  The camera can get in a state where it can no longer properly focus on the image. The preview shows a fuzzy image which is also the case with the pictures taken.
  Rebooting the phone does not correct this.

  (this was reproduced once by switching front and back cameras but it
  corrected with another switch)
