Hi Anthony,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Could you tell us a bit about your device?
- How long have you had it? Has it had problems like this before?
- Is it stock (not rooted)?
- What version of Android is it on?
- Were you using the stock Google Camera?
- Anything else that might be related?
I've had my N4 reboot after taking pictures on occasion; I don't think it's anything serious. If it happens every time, though, it may be worth digging deeper.

Hi, sure np. Only a few times before I reset it after I updated it to lollipop. Yes it's running stock 5.0.1 lollipop. Yes it's the stock camera. I've had it since February 2014 I believe. This is the first time, and since it is aging. Even my battery life isn't great according to gsam I'm getting 2:30 hours of Sot. That along with the restart worries me. Hope this makes sense and helps. Thanks for all the help,
Anthony.

Hmm, that's definitely odd for it to happen twice fairly regularly. I shot a handful of photos on my N4 this afternoon without any problems.
When you updated to Lollipop... was that an over-the-air update or did you manually flash the factory image? I'm a big fan of starting fresh with any major releases, so you might find it somewhat helpful to cleanly flash the latest release. If nothing else, that makes sure that you're starting from a known-good point (software-wise, at least), which can make it easier for us to help you track down any problems.
You can find the latest images here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
(Though to be entirely honest, it might make sense to wait a few more days for 5.1 to be released for the Nexus 4 and just flash that. That's kind of the holding pattern I'm in at the moment.)
If you're new to the flashing of factory images, one of my fellow moderators @lunatic59 put together a truly epic guide over the weekend: http://androidforums.com/threads/an...ing-to-devices-now.907843/page-4#post-6918840
It was written specifically for the Nexus 6 but all of the steps will be the same - the only difference will be that you want the occam image file instead of shamu.
