Is it normal for iphone 5 to heat up?

Is it normal or okay for an iphone 5 to heat up? Like when i'm using a video recorder after a couple of minutes it started to heat up. Does my iphone have a problem? Sometimes it just heat up my i'm playing games on it or even when someone txted me and i haven't read it yet and the lights in my phone is still open and i've notice that something in my bag is hot (my iphone was insinde my bag secret pocket with my wallet) turns out it's my iphone. But when i'm in a cold area like with aircondition my phone cools down or even when i put it in front of an electric fan it cools down. It's like this new iphones is like an old cpu that needed an airconditioning room to not heat up while using it. So can anyone help me? Is not normal for an iphone to do this or should i get rid of this one and buy something else?

Its normal, but it should not get so hot you can't touch it. Your phone is made to shut itself off if it gets too hot. When that happened to ours it gave us a message on the screen telling us it was shutting down due to the heat. Once it cooled down it turned back on.

Why does this happen? How to I fix it?
