I just noticed that the camera app setting only has one choise for flash: off and what comes to the focus the only choise is "infinity". So there is no way to turn on the flash or change the focus. I can turn on the flash with a flashligth app though. I have the 1.1.4.9 Äijänpäivänjärvi OS running. Is it possible that something did go wrong in the OS update? Is there a way to update the camera packages or the OS manually with terminal or do I have to make a factory reset and re-install the OS updates and apps?

Are you certain you haven't enabled the front-facing "selfie-cam"?

Tanghus may be on to something there, if not; open Terminal, and type pkcon install jolla-camera (enter). You may or may not need to restart the device for changes to take effect.

Back-camera is in use. I tried to install the camera. It did not change anything unfortunately

@Jussihoo - perhaps to remove the camera app, reboot the phone and then install the camera app again.

commands; pkcon remove jolla-camera (reboot) pkcon install jolla-camera (possibly reboot again, or not).

Thanks for the good suggestion but unfortunately even this did not help.
