Method 1:
If you have the camera connected, then I would suggest you to disconnect the camera and then try to open the Camera app. Check if it helps.

Method 2:
If the camera app opens, then follow the steps mentioned below:
a. Press “Windows key + C” from your keyboard to open “Charms bar”.
b. Select “Settings” option.
c. Select “Permissions” option.
d. Turn on “Allow this app to access your: Webcam and Microphone” option.
e. Lose the app by pressing “Alt key + F4” from your keyboard.
f. Reopen the Camera app.
g. Connect your camera and then check how this app works.

Method 3:
If that doesn’t fix the issue, then I would suggest you to run Windows 8 App troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.
