What is the com.android.camera error

Camera errors can manifest themselves in a variety of ways. When you launch the Camera app, instead of the viewfinder window, you may see a black screen, on which after a while the following message will appear: “The Camera app (process com.android.camera) stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” Also, you may find that there is no camera in applications that normally use it. For example, in instant messengers, photo editors, and so on.
