Recording stops or files are corrupted.	Format the memory card. Ensure the memory card is a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) card. The card may be full; enable loop recording or replace with a larger capacity card.

Video quality is poor.	Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Adjust camera angle to avoid glare.
