As far as I know, all Pentax DSLRs have it. When using a manual focus lens - and it has to be an manual focus lens, or at least an AF lens in which the AF can be disabled *on the lens* - set the camera to AF. Camera won't fire unless it thinks subject is in focus. So Press and hold shutter, then start slowly turning the focusing ring. When the camera thinks it is in focus, it fires. Or, prefocus on a spot where there is nothing to focus on. Press and hold the shutter. When an appropriate subject comes to that spot, the camera notices something is in focus, and fires.
