Hi! I got my camera yesterday and want to connect a vintage lens to my eos m. I bought a md-efm converter and the lens behaves ok in the preview. But, I cannot shoot. Nothing happens. In some camera menus we have an option to shoot anyway but cannot find. Do I need to do something special?

You will need to get to the Custom Function and find the setting for "Release Shutter without Lens", set to "enable".

Your camera will need to be set to P, Av, Tv, or M in order for the Custom Functions area of the menu to be visible.

Thanks that was way better than my reply.  I couldn’t remember the exact terminology so took the ball park route 😊
