Front camera not working

[Bradp]

I've had the Xperia Z5 for a couple of months with no problems. The other day I opened the camera and when I flip to the front camera I get the following message:

Error. Camera not available. Flashlight or camera may be in use by another application. Close it and try again.

I have tried clearing the camera data and have also reset my phone to factory settings. Any help would be appreciated.
