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.

You need to copy everything to a computer and do a factory reset as described here

Intrigued....

But Its very important that once you've finished servicing your ports, you give it a light blow and firmly close your flaps to prevent leakage.

It's the only way to maintain warranty.:smileywink:

@Cleoriff , the husband is using the Note 4 today and he won't be back from work till 4.30 so will have to check then, plus I also have a memory card in the Note 4 it that makes any difference.

@viridis just did another video and saved it fine! I really have no idea what is going on...

Could be still doing background stuff when writing, or could be some other corruption,
I'd be inclined to do a factory reset once everything backed up. Just to be sure.
