Yep. I use my D in manual mode quite frequently. It's always in manual
when I'm shooting birds with long glass, even though my 400 is an A and
capable of full metering support.

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.
