Main camera does not start

I’m late to the party here.

XA2 Plus.

I have been seeing this problem for a very long time, but it never quite bothered me enough to follow-up on it. For me it happens a few times a month. But when it happens, it typically happens a lot.

For a while, switching to the front camera and then back to the rear camera works-around it. But eventually, even that fails.

On a good day, the camera takes 10-60 seconds to start. Although I don’t think that that was the case when the bug first appeared.

A restart usually (always?) fixes it for me.
