Is something wrong with 你看见了我的照相机吗? There are sentences where not having 了after 看见 is marked as wrong, but here, the opposite happens.
We had exercises that distinguishes two different past tenses. If it is past simple (Did you...), it is correct to use 了in that way. For "Have you..." (Past perfect) we would use 你看见我的照相机了吗。 But honestly i dont know why none of above usage for 了 is used in here.
Same with me, it seems natural that the 了 should be there. But I don't know if that right.
I thought the same thing, but I guess it is often better to put 了 after the object. 你吃饭了吗？I'm not sure how you would decide though.
I tend to agree, but actually, as you are at this level, if you put in the effort to look at the characters one by one, you will probably get it.
Why is there nothing in the sentence to indicate that the action of seeing happened in the past? Would "你看见了我的照相机吗" also be acceptable?
相機 should be accepted for camera. It is accepted in other questions and is more widely used that 照相機 among the native speakers I know.
This was the given response in the previous lesson too so you should flag it next time you encounter it

你看见我的照相机了吗 - Their answer. Exactly the same as what you have written. So it cannot be wrong I suppose
