Where is this button and what components are made accessible
by using it?
Hey, that makes sense. Not!
If no one bought new LX where did the used LX come from. They

The newer Pentaxes will work best with that old lens. One of the reasons
why is lower magnification. I like the larger image in older cameras, but
the light is spread to a much larger area so the image is dimmer. Newer
cameras have a brighter image due to smaller area.
