Hey folks,

I've been using the phone for the last few days and it's been fine. Today I opened the camera app and I was going to do some macro shots and it started constantly switching between the macro cameras and freezing for a few seconds during the transition (I don't know if that normal or not). But I cannot take a shot when it's doing this.

This was happening with the stock Apple camera app but I downloaded some 3rd party ones from the App store and it's happening there, too.

Pointing the phone into the distance is fine so no issues there. I did a complete restore, turned the phone off, updated it, etc. and it's still doing this.

Is this normal? Thanks.

Yep. I just found out about this also and also affected by this issue. Massive thread on Reddit about it.
