First go with dslr, won't shoot?

Hi peeps

First ever try with my Nikon D5500 dslr.Took the lens off fitted a Nikon to 1.25 adaptor fitted it to my little ED80 so far so good. Turned camera on and tried to use the 'liveview' option and ruddy thing wouldn't let me telling me 'shutter disabled and to recharge battery' which I'm now doing. I am wondering if the dslr also wouldn't let me do anything as it detected no lens attached, if this is the case can it be overridden?.  I'm sure many folk use DSLR's so this can't be much of a problem, will have to dig out the camera manual see if any info there!

Cheers

There will be an option in one of the menus to "shoot without lens"..

To use an adaptor with that camera I think you just switch the camera to Manual settings.
