824255 - Sometimes, the camera won't take pictures but there is no visual feedback

Sometimes, the camera refuses to take pictures. In my experience, this seems to be the case when the phone is too close to the object (as is the case when, for instance, one attempts to take pictures of a baby in one's arms). However, there is no visual feedback indicating what is happening. It just looks like the application doesn't work.

Suggestion: at least display an icon or a sentence (e.g. "too close to object").

Actually, it seems that I missed a change of color. There is a visual hint that something is wrong. However, I still believe that an icon or sentence would be better.
