Camera flash disabled

I have an iPhone 5 running 9.0.2.

Sometime recently after an update I noticed the camera not working. I could it the camera switch button and the rear facing camera would work. I then hit the camera button again and noticed the warning button. Attached are the screen prints that show what I see. what do I need to do. Is it a hardware issue or is it software? I don't remember my phone falling or anything physically happening that would have damaged the flash. Any advice would be helpful.

iPhone 5, iOS 9.0.2

nevermind on all my previous comments. The Iphone was overheating. The first thing to happen is the flash is disabled. took out of case, and let it cool, then flash starts working, after a reboot.
