Canon R5 Vintage and Manual Lenses DON'T WORK??

Here's an easy fix to a dumb problem. If you can't take a photo with your manual (analog) or vintage lenses on the Canon EOS R5 or EOS R6, that's normal because by default these lenses don't work in stills mode on Canon cameras. I don't know why Canon factory settings come setup like this, maybe it's to protect the sensor if users don't power down the camera between lens changes? Luckily there's an option in the menu called Release Shutter w/o Lens and turning it ON will allow you to take photos with ANY manual or vintage glass (that you properly adapt of course) and this likely applies to the EOS R6, EOS R as well as older cameras like the 5DmarkIV, 1DXmarkii, etc....
I know this is a pretty "basic" video and I'm sure veteran Canon owners will already know to change this setting when they first get the camera but I always forget about it myself and I'm sure I'm not the only one who spent more than a few minutes digging through the settings! For some reason, Canon didn't put this option in an intuitive section of the menu, it should have been on the camera's Shooting menu (the first few pages) but instead it's hidden much deeper mixed in with a bunch of misc options.

I was out yesterday trying to get some shots of the fog on the back roads with my Rokinon 16mm manual and was a bit disappointed when it wasn’t working. I was starting to think I would have to sell the lens in my brief panic. Thankfully, this video has given me some relief! 😂 Thanks so much!

Planning a milky way timelapse for tonight. Have never used this camera lens combo before. Figured I would check things out and have everything ready, sure am glad I checked it out beforehand was in for a suprise. This was exactly what I needed. Now the trick is to remember to set it back

Brilliant! I spent about an hour going through the Shooting and Autofocus menus trying different combinations for manual shooting, then another hour going through the user manuals. I'd never have got here on my own. The 7Artisans lens I was using was starting to look like an expensive doorstop, but now it works perfectly. Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes there is! Go to the second page of the AF menu, then select MF peaking settings>Peaking>ON, If you don't see it appearing on the screen maybe try adjusting your Intensity Level!

I watched your video to learn from you. Question: can one enable this feature and leave it on? I case one day a manual focus lens is used and be camera ready to go? That would be beneficial, so I don't have to remember how to do this in a hurried circumstance. Thank you again for your recommendation.

At the moment you can only use Digital IS, which actually works really well.

When use with an old manual lens, does the canon R5 provide magnification for focusing? Sony A7 series does provide, and it works great for taking sharp pictures. Thanks!
