Samsung Galaxy s5 - Tried to use camera - got error message (Android, software)

[Grasonville]

"Camera Failed" So I turned off phone and restarted - now it works (YAY!) But any idea what might have caused the error and what can I do to not have that happen again? Is there a memory issue? I am not a teenager so I don't have a bazillion photos - any ideas?
Thanks.

Impossible to say but has this happened just this one time or more than once? If it just happened to once, I'd say some sort of software glitch. If it is happening repeatedly, I'd trying doing a restore. If that doesn't work the hardware could be failing.

Just once so far - I like to make sure it is not something I am making worse without knowing. Thank you for your quick reply. Will see if it happens again.

One thing about Android is that I do get weird errors about apps stopping and things not working from time to time. It's when they keep happening that you should be worried. But like I said, if it keeps happening do a full restore and see if that helps. One of my old phones had the autofocus get stuck from time to time and the fix was to literally flick it with my finger to unstick it.

Good luck.
