Lense Problems: Please help a novice!

Hi, can anyone help me? I have just got an MZ-60, but don't understand the details of the aperture ring. The following is a quote from a review "Usable Lenses: Pentax KAF2- and KAF-mount lenses. *When the aperture ring is set at other than the A position, shutter release
is locked." Does this mean that I can only use the camera in 'A' (auto?), and can I only put lenses on the body which have an 'A' on the ring?

I am new to this and any help would be greatly received.

No and yes.

You can use the camera in any mode, but you can only use a lens without an aperture ring (SMC Pentax-FAJ), or with an aperture ring that can be set to A, and it must BE set to A.

It sounds as though you have bought the wrong camera. The following impose these restrictions, and should be avoided if you want to use non-A lenses.:

MZ30
MZ50
MZ60
