Receiving “important message on camera” on iPhone 12 Pro.

I bought my iPhone 12 Pro only 4 months ago. I am getting the similar “Important Camera Message”- Unable to recognize genuine camera on your phone” message after the iOS is upgraded to 14.4. Does this mean that I received nongenuine camera with new phone? I also had difficulty at tikes to have my camera screen opened although video and other mode works perfect.

iPhone 12 Pro, 14

Yes, my phone was updated to iOS 14.4.1 as automatic update. After that only I started facing the “camera not working” issue.

First I noticed the camera shutter was not opening up in “regular camera” mode although video, panorama or portrait and slow motion mode worked fine that time. So I captured photo using portrait at that time. Later when I charged my phone I started receiving the “unable to identify genuine camera on my iPhone” message as notification on my screen.
