Trying to use back camera followed by front camera c# mediacapture windows phone 8.1

Question

I am writing a program where I want to take pic from back camera and then front camera using a single button. First it takes pic using back camera with no issue. but I try takin pic using front camera, it gives me exception saying like "No error text found associated with this error code" at await newFrontCapture.StartPreviewAsync(); line where newFrontCapture is the object of MediaCapture. Following is the code I am trying:

//code to take back camera image
  webcamList = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(DeviceClass.VideoCapture);

            backWebcam = (from webcam in webcamList 
    where webcam.EnclosureLocation != null
                          && webcam.EnclosureLocation.Panel == Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back
                          select webcam).FirstOrDefault();


  MediaCapture newCapture = null;
        DeviceInformationCollection webcamList;
        const string filename = "mysetting.txt";
        StorageFolder sf = null;
        DeviceInformation backWebcam;

  try
            {
                if (newCapture!= null)
                    newCapture.Dispose();
                newCapture = new MediaCapture();
                await newCapture.InitializeAsync(new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings()
                {
                    VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id                    

                });
                cp.Source = newCapture;
                          // Start the preview
                await newCapture.StartPreviewAsync();
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                newCapture.Dispose();
            }


   StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
                var picPath = "Image_Test_" + Convert.ToString(new Random());
                StorageFile captureFile = await folder.CreateFileAsync(picPath, CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
                ImageEncodingProperties imageProperties = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg();                
                //Capture your picture into the given storage file
                await newCapture.CapturePhotoToStorageFileAsync(imageProperties, captureFile);
                BitmapImage bitmapToShow = new BitmapImage(new Uri(captureFile.Path));
                imagePreivew.Source = bitmapToShow;  // show image on screen inside Image 
                captureFile = null;

                await newCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
                newCapture.Dispose();

                Frame.Navigate(typeof(FrontImagePage),imagePreivew);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                printvlaue.Text = ex.Message;

                await newCapture.StopPreviewAsync();

                newCapture.Dispose();// disposing the object of mediacapture (back camera object)

            }

Below code is working. it captures both font and back pictures in one click.

private async Task CaptureBackAndFront()
{  
//front Camera capture...
        DeviceInformationCollection webcamList;
        webcamList = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(DeviceClass.VideoCapture);

        DeviceInformation backWebcam;
        backWebcam = (from webcam in webcamList
                      where webcam.EnclosureLocation != null && webcam.EnclosureLocation.Panel == Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back
                      select webcam).FirstOrDefault();

        MediaCapture newCapture = new MediaCapture();
        StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
        try
        {
            await newCapture.InitializeAsync(new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings()
            {
                VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id
            });
            cp.Source = newCapture;
            await newCapture.StartPreviewAsync();

            var picPath = "Image_Test_" + Convert.ToString(new Random());
            StorageFile captureFile = await folder.CreateFileAsync(picPath, CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
            ImageEncodingProperties imageProperties = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg();
            //Capture your picture into the given storage file
            await newCapture.CapturePhotoToStorageFileAsync(imageProperties, captureFile);
            BitmapImage bitmapToShow = new BitmapImage(new Uri(captureFile.Path));
            imagePreivew.Source = bitmapToShow;  // show image on screen inside Image 
            captureFile = null;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //handel error situation...
        }
        finally
        {
            await newCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
            newCapture.Dispose();
        }

        // Code to take front camera pic
        MediaCapture newFrontCapture = new MediaCapture();
        try
        {
            var frontWebCam = (from webcam in webcamList
                               where webcam.EnclosureLocation != null
                               && webcam.EnclosureLocation.Panel == Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Front
                               select webcam).FirstOrDefault();

            await newFrontCapture.InitializeAsync(new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings()
            {
                VideoDeviceId = frontWebCam.Id,
            });

            cp.Source = newFrontCapture;

            await newFrontCapture.StartPreviewAsync();

            var picFront = "Image_Test_Front" + Convert.ToString(new Random());               
            StorageFile captureFrontFile = await folder.CreateFileAsync(picFront, CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
            ImageEncodingProperties imageFrontProperties = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg();
            //Capture your picture into the given storage file
            await newFrontCapture.CapturePhotoToStorageFileAsync(imageFrontProperties, captureFrontFile);
            BitmapImage bitmapToShowFront = new BitmapImage(new Uri(captureFrontFile.Path));

            imagePreivew1.Source = bitmapToShowFront;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Hanel error situation...
        }
        finally
        {
            await newFrontCapture.StopPreviewAsync();
            newFrontCapture.Dispose();
            newFrontCapture = null;
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps
