iPod-video turns black

I have a problem with the ipod 5 nano video functionality.


This is how recording starts, just a normal video.

This remains till the end so video recording goes on but every frame is underexposed.

On the few occasions that I've used the video camera on my 5th gen iPod nano, it worked properly.


My only suggestion is to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The button for Restore is on the iPod's Summary tab un iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and reset it to default settings. Maybe there is data corruption on the iPod's storage, or a software glitch, which the Restore will fix.
