No Lens Attached: EF or EFs Camera bodyUpdated 2 months ago
To shoot with a Canon EF or EFs camera without a lens attached, you need to access your camera's menu and enable the "Release shutter without lens" setting, which usually resides within the custom functions section; this allows the camera to take a picture even when no lens is mounted, but be aware that the image quality will be extremely poor and the results will likely be unusable due to the lack of proper light focusing.
Key points to remember:
- Access the menu: Navigate to your camera's menu settings.
- Find the relevant option: Look for a setting called "Release shutter without lens" or something similar.
- Enable the function: Set this option to "On" to allow the camera to take a picture without a lens.
Important considerations:
- Image quality:Shooting without a lens will produce extremely low quality images with no focus.
- Manual focus lenses:If you want to use a manual focus lens without electronic communication with the camera, you will need to enable this "Release shutter without lens" setting.
- Check your camera manual:Consult your specific camera's user manual for the exact location and name of this setting.
