I have already faced this issue three days...and now I seems to solve it steps are as follows:

First make sure the issue whether relative to sdcard.remove your external sdcard and reboot your phone.after reboot you can try your camera function more.If the error doesn't appear anymore then you can sure what caused camera malfunction.

Next step I try to chek my sdcard health(third party tool) its state is normal and I format it use of phone feature.

As of now (around 4 hours) the error doesn't appear. I don't know why sdcard will influence camera function even you don't set the photo store path on it....

I've the same problem to. When my xperia L nit more than one week, upgraded my phone to latest firmware 15.0.A.2.17 using update software inside phone directly, without using sony update service, no sdcard attached to my phone. First occurence when I used quick camera from lockscreen. Up till now, I've no found any solution except restart. This really annoying for me as this is new phone, no modding i.e. rooting I've do to my phone, fresh install from original firmware.
