iPhone 16e freezes when using rear camera in slow motion

Since I have updated my iPhone 16e to IOS 18.4 I am having issues with my camera app.

When I select Slow Motion my camera freezes.

This only seems to happen when I use the back camera. The front facing camera does not freeze in Slow Motion.

Basically I cannot use the slow motion feature any more.

I tried to use it as is but when I hit the record button it will stop right away with recording anything.

Another issue I am facing is that the camera will sometimes just display a black screen in the default Photo setting.

I noticed it predominantly happens when fps on 240 and not 120. Front camera is native to 120 so that could explain why it happens to rear only. So until further notice I cant do Slowmo on 240, I just tried now again and it still freezes up completely.

Yes, front camera (selfie) is limited to 120fps. However, rear camera is capable of 240fps.

What iOS version and model iPhone (just confirming you’re using a 16e) are you using? How much internal storage do you have available and what is original storage capacity?
