Camera function in IPhone 8 plus

When I open the camera I have a black screen when the 1x zoom function (I am assuming that’s what it means from my searches) when I tap it to 2x it opens the screen, yet won’t take pictures: however it is taking Slow-Mo’s and Video on the 2x function. I have turned it off, reset it. Given that we are meant to scan a QR code on entry to any store we enter (Lockdown Protocols In Australia) or write your name in a book, which has all sorts of privacy and health issues, I’d really appreciate any assistance that can be provided.. Many thanks, Stay Well and Stay Safe.🇦🇺🦘
