Need Help with Camera

[Padron26]

Ive been trying to figure out all night what the problem is with the camera.
I try to take a pic and it acts like it is going to capture but, it just makes 2 beeping noises. i was able to take 1 pic out of about 50 tries.

the same thing is happening with the video recorder, it wont let me start recording.

ive installed some camera apps to see if, i could actually take a pic with them and they work, but i would rather use the default camera application.
i installed the vignette (payed) and retro camera. both worked everytime.

i really dont feel like doing a hard reset just to see if the camera / video will work.

EDIT: ive Googled this and the only problem that ive seen people complaining about, is a black screen. as if the shutter is stuck.

Just checking but you know the camera is a 2 step process right? Press the button down half way which triggers the focus and the beep-beep sound then press all the way down to actually take the photo. So press half way til it beep-beeps then continue pressing til it takes the pic.

i took about about 40-50 pics last week with it, must have forgot or something.

Wow this makes me feel gifted.
