SD card is corrupted or won't record
Remove the SD card, reinsert it firmly into the slot until you hear a click, restart the camera, then test. If it still doesn't work, reformat the card through the camera app (this erases all data).
SD card corruption happens when power is lost during recording or the card wears out after months of continuous use. Fix involves reseating the card, restarting the camera, and reformatting through the app. If the card is old (over 2 years), it can need replacement.

- Forcing the card into the slot too hard (damages the connector)
- Reformatting on a computer instead of through the camera app
- Assuming a 2-year-old card is broken when it's just wearing out naturally
