All Nikon SLR's have and will allow manual focus.
Upping the voltage may speed up the motor and/or
destroy it and the camera.... The difference
between 6 and 8 fps is not great - but if Nikon
could get the speed up to a reliable and steady
24 fps, we could shoot very short full-frame
35mm movie clips! ;-)
Hope This Helps
