Not familiar with that camera but have a look in the settings menus and see if there's an option that says "shoot without lens" or similar wording. If there is, set it to "yes" or tick it or whatever it needs.

EDIT: according to a YouTube video I just found, on Nikons you just have to shoot in manual-mode ("M").

My Canon did the same when I did prime focus. 

Still worked in manual mode.

You'll quite possibly require a Barlow lens to bring the focal point further out. You might get away with using the Barlow's elements screwed into the "eyepiece" tube, if you get one with elements that can be removed (some can some can't).
