no video & pictures

Does anyone have a suggestion why the gimbal light stays solid green. Will not take pictures or video. Went out the other day flew and took video. Went home and tried it again and nothing but a solid green light. Plus the camera seemd to be not moving up and down. Seems stuck in a 45 degree...

All, two basic questions, since i am totally new to this: 1. Would the P3S record videos on its OWN without the APP? I tried it and it did not take pictures or record anything. 2. Again without the APP, my P3S would not fly the range it is supposed to as it kept hovering close to the controller...
