Help problem with camera

[51kbos]

Hi,
Normally I don't buy used phones because there's no warranty, but desperate times, and measures and all...
The camera isn't working and I'm unsure if it's a hardware or software problem. When I googled my issue, I found similar problems had occurred after rooting this phone. But the steps I found to correct that problem didn't work for me.
Also the camera didn't work before or after I rooted the phone. Plus, I get a different error message than those reported. Here is a screenshot

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

No screenshot there, but try a different camera app, like Camera FV-5 or A Better Camera.
