camera problem

I m using HTC desire 700 mobile. Recently I started to face a problem that is when I m going to take a picture with flash light that time it's automatically shut down or hang. Why & what should I need to do to overcome this problem?

Re: camera problem

Welcome to Android Central! Try booting into Safe Mode, which temporarily disables all 3rd party apps. On most Android devices, while powered on, press and hold Power until the Power Off menu appears. Press and hold the Power Off selection until the Safe Mode prompt appears. Tap OK.

If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, then something you installed is causing the problem. You may have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem disappears. If the problem persists in Safe Mode, then it's more likely to be a hardware or firmware problem.
