You try resetting the camera app by clearing data and force stop it. Can also try safe mode .

Some other app is connected to the camera. Restart the phone. If you still have the problem, look for the app that's connected to the camera and force stop it.

See https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...t-connect-cant-take-pictures.html#post6903890. The only other possibility is that the camera hardware went bad.
