Canon 6D Mark ii, release shutter without lens option?

[chriswilloughby]

Hi, 

I want to use an old Nikon lens with my camera body for stop motion animation. 

I get err 1, about faulty communication between the body and the Nikon lens. 

I don't need communication between the lenses, and was planning to cover the Nikon sensors with electrical tape and set the camera body to 'release shutter without lens' in the custom function III tab in the the Canon 6D Mark ii. 

I can't find that exact option in my camera but perhaps the other options achieve the same thing, for example the AF OFF function or the AE hold? 

Any advice would be welcome, thankyou for your time.

Thanks mate. I removed that sensor and now it works. In hindsight the problem was kinda dumb but that's why I came to the site, to learn.
