Jethro,

...Then I found an app called "lantern" that runs a firmware alongside Canon's firmware that adds features Canon has missed. But its risky as they warn the camera could fail to boot and they take no responsibility for that. They do not explicitly state that this particular function is included.

I think you mean Magic Lantern.

Magic Lantern adds a whole host of things to cameras like yours, and I'd be very surprised if it didn't included "release shutter without lens".

I installed it successfully on my canon 1200d, but, as you mentioned, there is a risk. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.
