I notice the camera indicator comes on at random times when I am not using my camera, mostly on lock screen. I am
not accidentally pressing the camera button, and the camera application is not open. I feel like my privacy is being invaded.

Turn off the iPhone tap-to-wake setting (Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Tap to Wake), or orient the iPhone display away from your body when stored in your shirt pocket, or both, and test again.

Good afternoon! You can swipe down for control center. The phone will tell you which app or why it is using the camera at the top. Hope this helped!

Seeing this Firsthand:
If taking a screenshot does not show this, then provide a photo. Take a photo using another device (smartphone, tablet, or computer), and show us was you are referring to. IMPORTANT: Be certain to block out any personal info(i.e, names and time), whatsoever, by blocking it with red-colored rectangles and such, through use of the Photos app.
Are you referring to the green dot in the Dynamic Island?
It was used by the camera app, which was not helpful
This is an irrelevant suggestion
Yes that is correct
