Android camera freezes when pointed at PC screen

[Android Central Question]

Hello! I have an Aquaris X smartphone. Recently a problem came up with its camera. When I point it at a working PC screen the camera freezes. Then, after rebooting the camera, it freezes after few seconds whatever thing I point it at. When I clear the camera's cash and reboot the phone, the camera seems to work well, until I point it at the PC screen again. It's a very weird problem and it's annoying because I quite often need to take a rapid screenshot of the screen with a phone. Thanks beforehand.

Welcome to Android Central! I wonder if it's a camera bug caused by the refresh rate on the monitor. Check your monitor's settings and see if you can change the refresh rate (e.g., from 60 Hz to 50 Hz).
