Don't know but it happens to mine too. End up having to reboot and it's okay again.

Noticed it with my 920, typically after extended video taking.

Its like the brightness option gets jammed at the minimum.

On the plus side though, I can get interesting shots of light bulbs.

I had this same issue with the default and Lumia Camera apps. But I'm seeing much better results with the ProShot app from the store. It's a paid app, sure, but only $3.00 and worth every penny.

My L920 does this too. It requires a reboot to get the camera back.
