Hi r.vittalkiran! Welcome to PF!

I can't answer your question …

but have you tried looking through this (amazingly long ) thread on https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=41511" ?

What you are trying to do is called afocal imaging. The problem you may be having is the autofocus on your camera might not believe that it needs to focus to infinity. Try setting it manually if you can.
