The camera is malfunctioning and repeatedly displays a "camera failed" warning

[CAMMC]

The issue began this morning after launching the Samsung Wearable app and attempting to utilize the Photos watch face. The camera malfunctioned when I tried to capture an image for the watch face. Force-stopping the app and clearing its data and cache did not resolve the problem. The camera consistently displays a "Warning: Camera Failed" message. While the gallery app functions correctly and video recording works within the Samsung Messages app, the camera remains unusable for still photography. The front-facing camera functions for selfies, but the rear camera remains inoperable.

@CAMMC You may have to contact Samsung Support https://www.samsung.com/us/support/#Contact-info to get the phone evaluated.

My camera has quite working as 5/2/2025 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra Terabyte. After multiple calls with Samsung Care, I finally got a ticket number and going to their uBreakiFix store to hopefully resolve this issue! As this is very frustrating since no one has an answer.
