What you have to do is convince it the back is closed. To do this,
looking at the camera back, on the left hand side where the tab from
the camera back would go to lock the back in place, you push gently
with something to trick the lock. When it clicks into the locked
position you can trip the shutter. To close the back you have to
"open" it again as you would if it was actually shut.
Hope this makes sense and helps.
