Camera Fear

I'm an expert but I freeze on camera. How do I actually start?

Start smaller than feels reasonable. Do not try to talk to the camera on day one. Begin with formats where you barely appear, like voiceovers over your work, then add one line at a time. The fear fades with reps, not with willpower, and the boring editing is what stops most people, not the talking.

Is it normal to hate being on camera even when I know my field?

Completely normal. Expertise and camera comfort are unrelated skills. Disliking the camera has nothing to do with how good you are at your job; it is about being watched, which almost everyone finds unnatural at first. It fades with practice, and it is not a sign you should stay off video.
