Testing the fix released for Bug #1519766 (and likely  #1478693) I can
reliably freeze the camera-app (v. 3.0.0.616) on rc-proposed Arale r227
by taking HDR images.

Freeze happens around the 3rd or 4th shot of the same subject as
reported in Bug #1519766.

HDR shots of shaded lamp in semi-dark room (taking up 3/4 of view)
trigger freeze on 4/5th shot.

HDR shots of lamp on small table at distance in semi-dark room do not
reliably trigger freeze.

Normal shots do not trigger freeze, with or without zoom AFAIKS.

Freeze comprises either the viewfinder holding the image of the
attempted capture and app being no longer responsive and needing to be
closed. Re-opening produces "Cannot access camera" error message screen,
with access permission or some other error as cause. Reboot needed to
regain camera function.

Other freeze seen was a return of the viewfinder to a dark screen, and
the same error message screen appearing.

Original reporter did not mention HDR, so I defer to better judgement as
to where this bug belongs.

  Zoom fully, took 1 picture which worked fine, took a second picture and the view froze, and the picture was not taken.
  Stopped the app.
  Started the camera again, the view is black and the controls cause the camera to freeze.
