Yes, I believe that this is well known, and a factory reset is not required to fix it. It's due to the new "ok Google" hit word detection on any screen in the google search app. Open the google app, or open google now, scroll down to the bottom and hit the settings control, settings, voice, ok google detection, turn off from any screen.

The google app holds the microphone open and the camera cannot capture audio, so you get that error. With Touchless controls you don't need that hot word detection in any app anyway.
