Canon EOS M and M42 Lens

[conor]

I bought my wife a new Canon EOS M camera. Along with the camera I bought the adapter that allows our current DSLR lenses to be connected.

She purchased a Mirage 135mm 1:2.8 fast zoom lens. To allow the M42 lens to connect I had to purchase an adapter ring.

When I turn on the camera now it says that it requires a memory card with lens update software.

Does anyone know what might be required to allow this lens to be used?

Did you check off the custom function that allows the camera to shoot without a lens? Might be worth a try, the camera won't be searching for a lens connection. Did this on mine and my Canon and non Canon FD mount lenses work on the camera.
