That should be the problem. I've never using repair feature on Sony PC Companion, so I don't know if the method will wipe the data. Flashing fresh FTF will be work, you can exclude data wiping tho.

Using Sony Companion will wipe all data, I think I need to backup all the data before repair it.... by Sony's repair tool in phone is extremely slow, any better method( no root needed)

Flashing an FTF with flashtool doesn't need root. Flashtool giving you many options, you can exclude data wiping. So your data will be saved during flashing process.

I just tried to uninstall the update for camera in setting →apps→all apps, after that I found out that I found the camera widget, but still only superior auto and manual mode is not working, and AR effect , info eyes are working fine

I've found that at least 4 packages that related to camera. One of them is Camera Common. Check if that package has been updated too. If so, uninstall the update should be work.
