Welcome to Android Central! Is it only when taking pictures? Are the photos saving to Internal Storage or a microSD card? If the latter, the card could be corrupt or faulty, so it may be worth trying a different card.

For more general troubleshooting, charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:

1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).

You might have to install a 3rd party battery monitor, like GSam Battery Monitor, to get the Cell Signal Strength graph.

I assume you're the OP of this thread, correct?

Those battery stats are hard to interpret, because you've been charging your phone. Show us the stats when you've used the battery down to the 20% level or so, without recharging.

I had a few other questions in my previous response that would be helpful to answer.
