Non-CPU (Manual Focus) Lens Data

This is how you get Matrix metering, automatic exposure and EXIF data compatibility with
old AI manual focus lenses.

You enter the focal length and f/stop via this menu. You also get aperture data in the finder
and can use manual and Aperture priority exposure.

You can set the FUNCTION button to do this without needing a menu. After you've set this
option, ensure the flash is off (otherwise the FUNC button works as the flash exposure
lock button) and hold the FUNC button. Spin the front dial to set the maximum f/stop of the
lens. Hold FUNC and spin the rear dial to set the focal length.
