EOS 80D Stuck in Servo AF

Hi all. Not sure how this happened, because I didn't intentionally do it. But.. My 80 is is Servo AF mode, and I want to return to one shot mode. For the life of me, I can't figure out how. The menu I've seen on YouTube isn't what I see on my screen. Chalk it up to a senior moment? Thanks for advice!

If by 80 you mean 80D:

80D. Sorry 🙂

Yes, 80D (sorry). In trying the above instructions, I have no "creative zone" on my mode dial. In fact, any mode still has the camera in Servo, and pressing the AF offers "Tracking" "multi Zone" and "Single Zone". None of these options takes me out of servo...

It's not labeled creative zone:

My bad... I missed the "A" creative zone. No matter which I choose, I don't get the single shot option. Just the three mentioned in my prior post

Are you using Live View? The rear LCD Screen to take pictures or the viewfinder.

Maybe something else got inadvertently set. You could do a camera reset.

The reset doesn't restore factory settings; it just erases and custom settings. I can't get out of servo mode, and the camera is about to become a parts only donor 🙂
