For some reason, out of nowhere, my MacBook Pro went into "Precision Mode". I've never seen this before and can't find anything online about it. My screen is all shaded out, except for one small box that says "precision mode". No matter what program I am using: internet, adobe, desktop... it doesn't matter, my screen looks the same. Please see screenshot attached. Does anyone know what this is and how I can exit it? Pressing esc doesn't work.

Thanks

no resolve—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

then reboot as normal to test

Do you use a Wacom pen or tablet...

Precision Mode: Toggles between normal precision and a precision that you choose, from Fine to Ultra Fine. In the Precision Mode window that appears, move the slider to set the precision that you toggle into. For example, if you assign Precision Mode to a pen button, when you press the pen button, you switch to working in the precision that you selected from the slider. When you press the pen button again, you switch back to working in the normal precision.

Thank you! Yes I have a Wacom tablet writing board and it must have pressed on in my bag while I was working on my computer. All is fixed now. Thank you.
