Canon EOS-M not working with 3rd party lenses.

Hi,

 

Im having issues with my Original Canon EOS-M camera and I can't seem to find anyone who could answer my question.

 

The EOS-M has been sitting in my closet for 4 years so i finally deiced to do something with it. I installed Magic Lantern in the camera with the intention of making time lapses etc. I purchased a cheap 3rd party 7artisans and I can't seem to get the shutter to fire or get the video to record. The camera works fine with my canon 22mm lens however.

 

am I doing something wrong?

 

thank you in advance.

Have you tried setting it to full manual mode (or as full as possible)? (I don't know anything about EOS-M, but I've had other EOS cameras which misbehaved in Av, TV, P, and full auto when they had old non-native lenses mounted)

Iv tried every setting, nothing seems to work. ; (

I figured it out! went through a bunch of YouTube videos.

 

In case anyone has this problem as well.

 

Go to Menus

- custom functions

- scroll to #7 (release shutter without lens)

- select enable.

And Thank you very much for coming back and sharing an answer. :)
