Try the 3R's; Restart, Reset, and Restore.

You likely know how to restart the phone so do that first.

If a Restart doesn't help then Reset the phone. Settings > General > scroll to the bottom of the page to Reset.

If a Reset doesn't help then Restore your phone using this link: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201252


If the camera still doesn't work then its possible a there's a hardware issue so return it to the place you purchased it from as its still under warranty.
