iPod denies access to front camera when trying to switch

So I wanted to take a picture of myself to send to a friend. I go to the camera app and switch to the front camera. The screen flips around, but the screen doesn't show my face. I wait, and wait, but I can't do anything. It's like the camera app froze...


Am I the first to experience this with iOS 7? What's causing my iPod to not let me use the front camera anymore?

Any help is appreciated.

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
