Failed to take any photos. Error msg: Insert an SD card. What's wrong at all?

Hi,

I created an AVD on API Level 28(Android 9.0). But when I tried to take a photo, the stock Camera app said "Insert an SD card before using the camera". So, I failed to take any photos at all.

But in fact, in the AVD settings, there is a Studio-managed SD card for this AVD.

What's wrong with this AVD? Could I have the Camera app on this AVD work without an SD card?

I have cleared storage of the camera app. But it doesn't work yet.

The version or detailed info about the Android Emulator and API Level 28 system image I used are as below.

Does the issue result from some defect of the Android Emulator or the system image?
Does this AVD on your PC have the same issue, too?

At last, I found that the issue was caused by that x64 system image. Use the above x86 system image instead even if your host is a 64-bit version of Windows.
