hang, hang during saving pictures and videos [ Edited ]

[jp997]

My HERO5 hangs frequently after taking pictures and everytimes after taking video, it seems that it hangs during the saving process, may be this is a reason my original SD Card had been killed.

How can I fix it?

There is a delay after taking a picture or stopping a recording so it's hard to tell from your description if it is normal behavior or not.

Your options are pretty much this:

Be sure to use one of these SD cards

Perform a FULL (not quick) format of your card in your computer

Test a second card from the list to see if the behavior is the same

Perform a manual update.
