sony z3 compact taking ages to save recording

[Anonymous]

Hi All

Few mins ago I have recorded a video, about 40 secs long and it was saving it for ages without actually saving it. So closed the camera app, and tried to record another video, but error message pops up saying it's saving my previous video, so can't use the camera.

I have restarted the phone and tried recording again, but still no joy!

Can anyone help, this is very annoying!

Cheers in advance.

Not a good experience.

Are these two instances the first you've encountered with this

 or has it been fine before ?

Surely if they were the first, then it would have been fine before.

Or did I read that wrong?

Got ya.

Done, the phone vibrated and switched itself off. Not rebooting tho, shall I just switch it back on?

[viridis]

It would help.

Ok, done.

Recorded a min long video, so far so good. Will do few more to see if it worked properly. Thank you @viridis

Remember to make sure your flaps are closed firmly after.
