Why does my camera say cannot recognize lens?

In the settings, edit to enable “release without lense”

I had this issue and these solutions didn’t work for me. I noticed that the lens was slightly extended (zoom), so I gently but forcefully pushed it back all the way in to the original position. Then it began working.

Take it off by pressing and holding the release button and rotating the lens clockwise. Then put it back on by aligning the two white dots and rotating counterclockwise. If that doesn't fix it, just comment down below and I will tell you another fix.

"Replace the bayonet mount.

I had the same problem with my a5100, bought a metal bayonet mount from Amazon and fixed it in about 5 minutes. The plastic one on mine was broken / fatigued and didn’t hold the lenses tightly, thus the pogo pins didn’t properly contact."
