iPhone 4S camera app crashes when trying to take Photo/Video, iPhone 4S camera app crashes when trying to take Photo/Video

I recently got my iPhone 4S 16GB. Its running 6.1.3, and I noticed this bug last night when I was trying to record something at my school. I will take a picture, the frame will fly down into the little slot, but if I try to view it, it doesn't show up. If I try to take a video, the buttons disappear at the top, makes a ding that sounds like its recording, and then the buttons appear, and doesn't record. If I try to do this repeatedly, the app goes black, and I hit the home button to exit, or sometimes I have to force restart the phone. Will this be fixed if I update the phone to iOS7? Any help is appreciated.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

Its fixed. Called Apple Support, and they were able to give me tips about how I could possibly do it. After about half an hour of stressful wiping, I managed to restore from a backup from yesterday at midnight, I wish I could've done the one before wiping, but iCloud was being, well, iCloud. Magically the camera started saving pictures again.

Uh, could you tip us too, so we can be spared the call to Apple support 🙂 - not that it's in general bad, the support. Just easier to DIY.


Its all the apps connected to the camera for me. Hipstamatic, Camera+ and Camera. If I make a reset and star the phone again I can use these apps. But after some use - impossible. It's like ... when the get the photo back from iOS7, it happens. That's my feeling, anyway.


Thanks

well I agree with jakob.joergensen but since the other guy did not tell you how to fix the issue I am going to tell you how first of all you have to hold the home button and power button untill a apple sign shows up on the screen. after that once the apple sign has disaperd you press the home button . finally your camera should be working.
