It starts at the previous values, so if you are stuck in a local minima you
may have to reset all the values and start from the beginning.

Yes, the simplest way to get stuck in a local minima is by having angle of
view for all photos at 0 (this is so easy that Hugin has various built-in
workarounds to avoid this).

There other ways to get stuck, particularly barrel distortion can be so
extreme that only resetting it all to 0 will get you out.
