Menu --> Settings --> Applications --> Application Manager --> tab "All"
Search in this list for the following entry: "camera"

Solution 3: Check camera for a technical defect
Should the two solutions above did not work, there may be a hardware defect. To test this, you have to navigate to the Samsung Service menu.Open the Phone app and switch on the "keypad". Type there the following code:
- *#0*#
In the service menu you must now tap the box "Mega Cam". This is a test for the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and is driven by an extra software. Thus, it is precluded that the failureis triggered by the Android camera software.

A factory reset will then be able to remedy this. Also an alternative app like Google camera may solve the problem.
If the test here also do not work and no camera image is displayed, then probably the camera module in your Samsung Galaxy S6 is really defect. If that's the case, only a repair at a service shop to guaranteehelps.
