Custom function menu: C.Fn-7 Release shutter without lens must be set.

thanks for the reply...unfortunately it still does the same

Do you have a chip on the adapter? If so, pull it off (it's probably just glued on there). Some of the chipped adapters have invalid or old code that don't work with many camera bodies.

this is the adapter

Is that an M42-Canon EF adapter?

If it is an EF, and you are attaching it to the Canon EF to EF-m adapter, it probably won't work, since the Canon adapter is looking for electronic contacts your lens and adapter don't have. You'll need something like this:

You can try popping off the chip, but my guess is it still won't work. You'll want an adapter designed to mount to EF-m.

sorted m8 , put a bit of tape over the contacts on the adapter , now its just getting used to it , cheers for the advice m8
