Need a quick answer

I am in the Smoky Mountains with my Sony RX10ii. As I get ready for a hike, I notice a green message on my screen that says "STBY." A friend used my camera to take videos, and I can't get the camera out of video mode.
I am in the field and need a solution--as soon as possible!!!
Thanks!!!

Try taking the battery out for a moment or two. May be go back to factory settings? I don't really know.

Tried your suggestion but didn't work. I really appreciate your quick attempt to help.

I figured out my problem and hate to confess the obvious solution. All I had to do was move the "mode dial" from "movies" to one of the still shooting priorities. How very basic!!!

The user manual for the camera says pressing the Movie button to start recording and press it again to stop the recording.
I know you have the manual but here is the link anyway. https://docs.sony.com/release/Manual_4591691111.pdf

It pays to know your camera before you go out in the field. It really helps to read the manual too.

Always check your cameras settings before you shoot. I have ruined a lot of potentially great shots by not checking.

No one, I mean Nooooooo One, barrows any of my photo equipment. I learned the hard way a long long time ago. Fool me once -- your fault, Fool me twice my fault.

Ansel Adams practice was to reset his cameras to their base settings before putting them away at the end of the shoot.

It's hard enough for me to remember to put unusual settings back to my normal settings! I have certainly lost a few images that way! So, I don't lend the gear!
