Z Flip3 - camera app crashes when recording video

[Jangles]

I've had my Z Flip 3 since mid May, overall really delighted with it! 

However, this weekend I experienced something that is a bit alarming. Recording video at a family event, the camera app just closed when I pinch-zoomed on the screen. I'd recorded about 3 minutes of video, it wasn't saved. 

It's done this just the once so far. Is this an issue, anyone else experience it? I see nothing referencing this. Camera app installed is latest version according to Galaxy Store.

Perhaps try clearing the cache files of the camera app in Settings, Apps, Camera, Storage, Clear Cache @Jangles 

Also clearing the phone's system file cache partition can help sometimes. 

Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too. 

The phone does have an internal diagnostic tool in the Samsung Members App.

Also a feedback option is in the Samsung Members App to send info and error reports.

A Samsung Service Centre can check out your phone too.

I hope this is a glitch however and the feature returns to normal.

I wish you all the best.

Thanks, I appreciate your advice and tips. I've cleared caduceus, etc, and this glitch hasn't reoccured. Not convinced it's fixed though. Good to know about the repair apps option, I'll try that
