You can try a different camera app, just to check if it is caused by the app or not. Try VLC player:

I would suggest re-installing the UWP camera application. You can do it from a Powershell prompt
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name *windowscamera* | % { Add-AppxPackage "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode }
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name *windowscamera* | % { Add-AppxPackage "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode }
