hello there,

i just woke up with a new bug on my XIAOMI MI9. The Camera-App isn't working well anymore. If I open it, it looks like all works fine. But if I tap one Button (for example turn to the front-camera or change to the portrait-mode) it says "CAMERA ERROR --> CAN'T CONNECT TO CAMERA.

i already tried reboots and change the language settings from german to english. it didn't help.

any ideas what to do?

(V10.3.2) Mi Mix 3, Rear camera ok but front camera has this same error. (No problem to add face data to do unlock)
Add: Refresh ROM did not help to solve the front camera problem.

Move your camera folder inside DCIM to camera_old.
Restart Camera app.
Hopefully everything will work fine like it did in my redmi note 5.
Didn't find a way to copy videos and images to the new folder though. When i do that, the problem reoccurs.
Maybe there is a bug when the number of files is big (I have more than 5000 images+videos)

V10.3.3 fixed the problem. Thank you!
