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.

Shel, I'm amazed, that was the first thing I figured out how to do.
Given you're feelings on in camera meters I would have expected most of
your shots were done that way.

I am a little surprised that you didn't look at Manual exposure mode
earlier. I use mine that way a bit of the time, and all the time when
I'm using the external flash.

Thanks Godfrey, Dave ...
Knowing these techniques makes the camera even more user friendly for me.
The idea of using the DS as a completely manual camera, and also using the
AE-L technique, has made me like the camera even more, and, for me at
least, pretty much gets rid of the bugaboo of
some of the exposure modes.

Practically every camera Pentax have ever made could be used in
manual exposure mode, so I'm sure it will be available on any
future body. The only Pentax body I've used that didn't offer
manual mode was the ME (which is why I replaced it with a ME Super).
There were a few later M bodies (MG,
They all do (all Pentax AF) except (P)Z-10 AFAIK.
