Hi Tim:
I found your response to why Canon cameras won't allow users to take the photo very helpful. I am hoping someone can help me with this one.
Camera: Canon R5
Lens: Rokinon 14mm
Attempted shot: Star photography
ISO: 3200
Focus: Manual
Shooting Mode: Time Value
Time: 30 seconds
The lens was securely connected to the lens adapter. The Rokinon was set to F2.8 and infinity focus. But the R5 would not allow me to take the shot. I took the Rokinon off of my R5 and put it on my 5D Mark III and had not problem taking the shots with very similar settings. Any suggestions on what I should check in order to get the R5 to take the shot?

There is a setting which allows the R5 to take an image without a lens.
