however, recently I discovered that the camera can be used in manual mode
while using auto focus lenses, and, in so doing, the meter can be bypassed
and the camera used just like any older, mechanical camera, where I can set
whatever aperture and shutter speed I desire.  It's kind of like having a
digital MX or KX.

This has always been the case with all the Pentax AF cameras I have 
used (SFXn, Z1-p, MZ-50, MZ-5n, MZ-S).
