Here is how I solve the volume down key and camera problems after the Pie update.

Since the updates after Android Pie, one after another, the volume up key, volume down key and now the camera refuse to work. 

My phone is very clean. I don't install any software from Google Play.  So I can eliminate the posssibility of any inteference from 3rd party softwares. 

Tap the camera icon. And I will get an alert saying "cannot start camera. Restart camera or device". To really make the camera work, I need to use fingers to cover the foreground and background censors for a short period, then the camera will show the preview image gradually.  I need to do the same if I want to reuse the camera next time. 

To make the down volume key work, I need to change the "Use Volume key as" setting of the camera to "Volume".  The default value is definitely not "Volume".  The build number is 47.2.A.10.28. 

I don't find any way to make the volume up key work. But I am pretty sure that this is a software bug.
