Focus is critical for good image capture. Many cell phone camera apps allow the user to set and fix the focus for a series of images. Where possible the focus should set and fixed for all documents that are the same distance from the camera.

Another factor that can also make an image look out of focus is what is called motion blur. This occurs when either the camera or the document moves during exposure. The Scan-n-Share camera stand can eliminate most blur if you are careful not to hit the stand or camera while an image is being taken. There are devices and apps that allow for remote triggering of the camera without touching it. Where possible use something other than touching the camera to trigger it to take an image. For example, a remote Bluetooth trigger can be used to trigger each new exposure. Some cell phone apps trigger a new exposure after they see that the motion in front of the camera lens has stopped. So you could reach into the change a page and after the change , when the camera does not detect more movement, it takes the next image and waits.
