Focus remains locked as long as you keep the shutter button
depressed.

Most likely. You'll have to set compensation then meter, focus,
compose, etc.
I usually set exposure compensation after evaluating the scene's
contrast with the spot meter in manual mode, and only if I cannot
find a 16% gray area. This is rare, as it happens only for very high
contrast scenes (backlights) or monochrome subjects filling the
frame.

If you're a still shooter like me, it is not. ;o) Otherwise, look
for a hyper-manual mode camera like MZ-S or PZ-1p.
