Some circuit problem that confused the zooming program with the recalling and displaying another picture. Maybe a virus?

It is most likely a software bug. All complicated softwares have software bugs. You could try to update your software to the newest version, and check for other reports of the same problem.

Yes, at least advanced phones like that can get infected by software viruses.

I would suggest checking the settings on your Android device to see if there are any updates or changes that may have caused this issue. It is also possible that there may be a glitch in the software or a problem with the camera itself. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for assistance in troubleshooting this issue. It is important to document and report any unexpected behavior from technology devices, as it can help improve the overall functionality and user experience.
