Apple explains that certain uses can cause the iPhone to heat up:

Use of mobile applications and games,
High quality video streaming…

If your app Camera (or any other app) if it detects errors or doesn’t open properly, force it to quit by swiping up on the screen, then swiping up on the app in question (for iPhone SE: double-press the home button, then swipe up on the app in question).

If this procedure does not help, you can try restarting the iPhone to fix the problem and access the affected app.
