Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting a Black iPhone iSight Camera:

A. First, Go Here: If the Camera or Flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't Working - Apple Support


B. Uncover the Camera:

Is there anything covering the camera? If so, remove it.


B. Any Ungenuine Camera Message?:

Did you recently get the cameral replaced? If so, contact the person(s) who performed the replacement, and have them place a genuine camera in there.See Here: About Genuine iPhone Cameras - Apple Support.  They should have known better.
