Camera freezes after updating to iOS 26.0.1

I have a problem with the camera after updating to iOS 26.0.1 on my iPhone 12 Pro. There is a black screen, when zooming in more than 1.9x it freezes (in photo mode), when shooting video everything is fine, portrait mode does not work. In other apps everything seems fine. What could be the problem?

iPhone 12, iOS 18
