Since API level 13, if applications set a camera via MediaRecorder.SetCamera(Android.Hardware.Camera), the apps can use the camera after this method call. The apps do not need to lock the camera again. However, if this method fails, the apps should still lock the camera back. The apps should not start another recording session during recording.
