Bug Description

testing silo 52 (messaging-app) on latest rc-proposed

Steps to repro:
- open messaging-app
- create message
- press + button and select video
- choose camera app

Expected results:
camera app is launched with viewfinder active

Actual results:
camera app is launched with black viewfinder. Note: switching to front camera or swiping app away and back will make the viewfinder appear correctly. Also, you can still record the video even though the viewfinder is black.

---------------
camera-app (3.0.0+16.04.20160323.3-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * Resync trunk. added: po/sk.po

  [ Florian Boucault, Ken VanDine, Ugo Riboni ]
  * New release: Only accept manual focus on points inside the
    viewfinder. viewFinderView.captureMode can now be set before the
    camera is ready. Take advantage of that to fix bug #1545123 Disable
    controls and prevent navigation while a delayed/timed shoot is
    ongoing. Display a stock icon as the video thumbnail when
    thumbnailer fails (which it will do now if it can't process a video)
    Allow sharing multiple files, except if they are mixed content Only
    use full screen in staged mode. added: UnableShareDialog.qml
    tests/unittests/tst_PhotogridView.qml (LP: #1545123)
