Make sure you've set the "use aperture ring" custom option to something like "permitted" (could be worded slightly differently) and probably "catch-in-focus" to "on" if that is your preference. Also you might want to make sure SR is turned on, note that in certain shooting modes like timer it automatically turns the SR off.

If I understand correctly the problem only occurs when he attaches a manual lens to the camera. When you do this, there should be a pop up screen telling you to input the focal length but this is not happening. This pop up is independent of all other camera settings. I'm afraid that what you suggest would have no effect in the fault.

There was a time when the focal length question only popped up when SR was turned on, this changed and I can't remember which cameras have the change and which cameras are on the old system.

Well if it did, it predates the K20
