Unfortunately, camera has stopped

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped"
I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app
The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
Edit :
Have done a full factory reset, and have just let the phone update what it needs from the Play store (google services etc), have not installed any 3rd party apps ... and still having the same problem
Initially the zoom worked, but rebooted the phone and now the camera stops again
If I zoom in to say 5x and then start teh video, it records, but as soon as I try and zoom in or out, it crashes
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10h-EUR-XX

HTC One M8 camera keeps crashing randomly.

Hello,
My HTC One M8 (T-mobile) has been acting up lately. The camera crashes randomly when I open the camera app. There is no error message, it just crashes and phones goes back to the home screen.
I have tried other camera apps too, same fate.
I think I have started noticing this after the latest android security update that was installed a week ago.
Anyone facing similar issues?
I have tried force stop, clear cache, clear data and even a factory reset. Nothing helped.
Update: both camera work fine with this app called OpenCamera, it does not crash like the HTC camera and Google camera app.

I first noticed this after the upgrade to Lollipop. Still happens occasionally, and is fixed for weeks at a time with a reboot.

Snapchat constant freeze, ruins all camera apps

Hello. I have had the M5 for around two months now and almost everytime I use snapchat, whether the actual camera is on, viewing a snap or viewing the list of sent/received snaps, the app freezes and crashes.
I then get the error message about the camera unable to open, and any app, including the official camera app, that uses the phones camera, is unable to open the camera.
I have....
Updated snapchat
Cleared cache
Restarted phone
Uninstalled/re installed snapchat
The same issues still, every time.
Any other possible fixes???

I'm having the same problem. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the official camera app to work again? I don't mind sacrificing Snapchat, I just want my cameras back!

I had problems with snapchat until I updated to 5.1. Snapchat works fine for the most part but some filters/stickers don't work properly.

To get the official camera app to work, had to restart the phone (which I have to do to get all camera apps working)
My phone hasn't gotten any updates, still Android 5.0, seems my carrier isn't getting the update so I can't tell if that can work or not

N5X Google Camera really clunky after Oreo 8.1 update

Is just my phone? Since 8.1 update, camera becomes really clunky and laggy, when I take a picture, if I go to the preview the app becomes really slow and almost useless, I have to directly open Google Photos cuz trying to watch a picture from the camera app is a mess.
It happens to the stock camera, to the NX version too, the only app that does not present the problem is the "OnePlus Camera"
I tried wiping cache partition, wiping cache and data from camera app, uninstalling updates, updating the camera again and nothing solves the problem...

Install camera nx 7.2 and disable stock camera

Same here. Flash triggers before the shot, resulting in a black screen, and zoom is erratic.
No issue when reverting to 8.0 so that's software related for sure.

Camera app keep crashing

Hi, just bought my Pixel 3a XL 3 days ago, updated to Android 10 December, the camera was fine and working correctly for few days.
But starting from yesterday. The Camera app keep crashing every time I open it, not able to take a single picture. I do everthing I can even clear storage, factory reset but the same problem.
I uninstalled the update for the Camera app on Play Store and use the pre-installed one, than the camera work normally, but cannot switch to front-camera.
Is anyone else have the same issue?

First time I read about such an issue.
Maybe a hardware malfunction?
If you have an unlocked bootloader I would flash the latest stock factory image, and since you have had it for only a couple of days if that does not work I would get it exchanged.

I knew many people have the same issue like me if you read the comment on Playstore for the Google Camera app latest version. I don't know if it's hardware malfunction or not, but I can use the rear camera as usual when uninstall the latest update of Google Camera and use the factory version of December update.

I use camera px and I have never had a problem with it it's Google camera but with extra features enabled from the newer pixel phones give it a try it isnot on Google play store it is her on xda
