EOS R5 Mark II shutter release without lens

Hello all

Where can I find the function to enable release shutter without lens on my R5 Mark II? I scrolled through all the functions in the menu, and I don't see it at all. TIA

To release the shutter without a lens attached go to the camera's custom functions menu as shown in the picture below. Highlighted in red, "Release w/o Lens", and enable it.

To add to Marc's instruction, be sure you are in one of the "creative" modes, like Av, Tv, M, etc. and not the A+ Full Intelligent Auto mode 🙂

Thank you Marc. I found the function thanks to Newton's response. The camera has to be in other modes instead of A+ mode for it to show in camera's functions
