This is probably the issue with the Intel "mipi" camera drivers. Most Dell machines ship with the "mipi" camera that is only partially supported in the kernel. Hans de Goede has been working on support for this in the kernel and in Fedora (https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org, https://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/ ). Just check for his posts on ipu6. There are multiple pieces that need to be installed to make this camera work. Some of the drivers are already in the kernel, but there are some sensors included in newer Dells that aren't supported yet. You can see if the camera on this particular Dell works by installing the akmod-intel-ipu6 driver from rpmfusion-nonfree. I believe it requires Secure Boot to be disabled (it builds an unsigned kernel module). After the dnf install completes, make sure to give time for the kernel module build to complete. After that is done, reboot, and check if y our camera is working: https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html.
