Try settings-apps-all-camera,force stop and clear data.Restart.
You can also try to boot your phone into safe mode to see if the problem may be related to any 3rd party app that you have installed in your phone:

HI, sorry for my late response, I have been out of the office for a few weeks.
Do you still experience the same behavior with the camera?
If you have tried the suggestions above with no success I would suggest that you try to repair/reinstall the phone software using PC Companion:
http://www.sonymobile.com/update
In PC Companion, press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Press the blue link that says "Repair phone/tablet".
Before repairing the software in your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to:
