Is your charger plugged into a grounded outlet? I've seen this when someone uses either a defective charger or has their phone plugged into an ungrounded outlet. One person posted a photo of their phone plugged into a power strip which was clearly held together with tape and they were getting an electrical feeling on the camera button, which completely went away when they used an appropriately grounded outlet.
