camera screen is flashing

Hello cinth1a,

Just to clarify, is this happening in the Apple Camera app, or another application? Does this happen when trying to take a photo, video, or both? That information will help us plan how to proceed.

If you're experiencing an issue with the camera on your device, please check out this link, which has some suggestions that can help with several camera issues: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working

Remove case, accessory, or film and test

1. Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.

2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.

3. Test the LED flash:

4. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.

5. Tap the Flashlight button .

If the flash works only sometimes, open the Camera app and tap the flash button  to choose a different setting. 

A configuration profile, including a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile, can disable the camera.

Thanks!
