There is an easy workaround which should apply to any Canon camera and any AF lens:

For MF lenses and Canon, you need at least an adapter with an AF chip, but I'm not sure if the above trick will work at all.
EDIT: Most likely, it won't work with a chip since such a chip tells the camera that there is an AF lens in MF switch position. For the trick, you need the switch to be in the AF position.
By the way: Which MF lenses do you have? Are you aware that you cannot adapt all lenses to all systems?
