Zenfone 5 (ZE620KL) - Camera2 API not working after Android Pie upgrade

[michael_56Q0]

Model: ZE620KL
RAM: 4G
Firmware/APP Version: Open Camera v1.45.2
Frequency of Occurrence: Every time
Rooted: No
APP Name: Open Camera

I have the Open Camera app installed on my Asus Zenfone 5 (KE620KL). A few days ago the phone offered to upgrade to Android Pie, which I did. Before that time I had enabled the Camera2 API on the Open Camera app, to unlock additional facilities. Now on Android Pie, the app works fine *without* Camera2. But as soon a I try to enable it (or subsequently to run the app) it briefly flashes up a message saying FAILED TO OPEN CAMERA CAMERA MAY BE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION? And the app closes. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the app. It's really frustrating that something which worked before on Android O now doesn't on Android P. Anyone know why this is happening, and if there is anything I can do to enable the Camera2 API for the Open Camera app? Thanks!
