my camera only works for taking selfies, not when it is being used for normal pictures

Why is my screen black when I try to use my camera normally. It only works if I am taking a picture of myself.

It sounds like something is wrong with the back camera. See this, If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support
