Start the phone in [https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-5-safe-mode/|safe mode] and check if the camera works OK.
If it does then a downloaded app may be the cause of it not working in normal mode. The trick is to find out which one.
If it still doesn't work OK in safe mode, perform a factory restore using the phone's factory restore feature.
'' '''Backup''' the '''phone''' first '''before''' doing this as a '''factory restore''' will erase all your data and downloaded apps. It will restore the phone to its' factory default condition. It will be like when you first bought it.''.
Once the factory restore has been completed, check the camera operation.
If it is still faulty then the camera needs to be replaced.
If it now works OK, restore the phone from the backup made earlier, using the phone's restore feature.
Once the restore has been completed, check the camera operation.
