Re: EOS Rebel T5i is stuck on video

I am new to photography.  I can't seem to get out of the video mode.  When I toggle the power switch (the one labeled video/on/off), from video to on, nothing changes.  I believe it should go to a picture taking mode when I do this.  As a result, I can't take any photos (I appear to be stuck in the video mode).  Sorry for the lame question, but I am stuck.  Thanks so much.

If your camera locks up in video mode or live view mode to the point where even switching it off does nothing and you have to pull the battery, upgrade the firmware. Both the T4i/T5i had this bug when one of the STM lenses was used in certain situations. The new firmware fixed the issue for me.
