My point was that You can set the camera to manual everything, if thats your
preference, and then stop worrying about little buttons and so on.

The way I normally use my F3 and F90 is in aperture priority mode, I measure
the part I prefer, or somthing that gives the time I want, then use AE-lock.
(I wore out the AE-lock button on my first F3.)
