My camera showing msg Camera error
Intizam thanvi - Reply Share
My camera displays a "camera error" message when I take a picture. I have to turn it off and on again, sometimes several times, and then it can take pictures normally again. But sometimes, even while I'm taking pictures, the camera error message appears.
I would appreciate any help you can give me in fixing this error.
Thank you.
