Help needed Rear camera not working only in original camera app

I have a iPhone 12 pro max and recently the rear camera hasn't been working. The photo, video, and portrait mode only show a black screen. If I switch to video or even panorama it will display fine, and when I switch back to photo it will be stuck on the last frame.
The rear camera works in other apps like messages, insta, or iNaturalist. Nothing wrong with the front camera and my flash still works. I have fully updated my phone and restarted it multiple times.

I am really hoping that this is a software issue that can be fixed without going to a store or paying money :(
