Hi, for not working camera you can try to download alternative 3th party camera free applications from Google Play Store like Open Camera or something like that, then test again to use your Samsung GAlaxy A5 camera hardware to take pictures. However, about hard reset, normally your Samsung Galaxy A5 operating system will be reinstall or reformat after finish hard reset, you can use first options if your phone still can boot properly or use second options to do hard reset using hardware button combination key. If your Samsung Galaxy A5 camera still not work although you have done hard reset, then you have to get further check at Samsung authorize service center.
