Can you link that person here? Could be just that person with the problem, never heard of anyone else having a rooted A22 5G with camera issues. Assuming you'll use Magisk, try it out and see if the camera is affected. If it does happen for whatever reason, you can easily uninstall.

Came by this thread by accident.
For what it's worth:
I've got an A52s 5G which has the same behaviour (it's also a known 'feature': https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-root-samsung-a52s-sm-a528b-ds-with-working-camera.4408963/ ).
Managed to get it working by following the steps above (Should be more or less the same as for the A22 I guess), but I also had to install magisk hideprops and force basic authentication and spoofing the device fingerprint as a Samsung S21.

EDIT: it's not the rooting which affects the camera not working on A52s 5G, it's the unlocking of the bootloader.
