my camera only works for taking selfies, not when it is being used for normal pictures

Why is my screen black when I try to use my camera normally. It only works if I am taking a picture of myself.

iPhone XS

It sounds like something is wrong with the back camera. See this, If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support
