You can try the custom function that lets you shoot without a lens. I have no idea what it does - maybe nothing - if you *do* have a lens.

I had the exact same issue with my RP. What I did was set it to manual focus in the body and focus to infinity manually. There's no physical infinity stop like there is on older lenses, but there's a software stop, at least on my RP.

That's really not ideal at all and honestly makes no sense because there are a lot of entirely encoding focus lenses that have no mechanical connection. On top of that, you're stressing the AF motor and also getting tape residue on the lens....
There's a built in solution for this that you're either ignoring or unaware of and such a jank solution is not necessary.

1. Gaffer tape leaves no residue.
2. With lens set to MF the focus motor is not engaged.

I live in Arizona, so unfortunately every tape leaves residue. My apologies on the second point.
Why not do this the right way, with mf and locking at infinity through the body?

This is an almost five year old thread that is marked as solved.
If you have a camera-based solution that will prevent a manual focus lens (by design or as switched) from shifting focus if the focus ring is inadvertently moved, you should start a new thread for the benefit of the Community. I am not aware of any; always open to learning.
