My first reaction was "Hell, if I wanted that much automation I'd get a point and shoot--well, I recently did get one, a used Lumix DMC-LX5, but it stays in aperture preferred mode. I took to aperture preferred when I first got the M9 like a duck to water. So, after first turning Auto ISO off, I turned it back on with broad limits: minimum shutter speed 1/15--with the mass of an M9, I've gotten away with 1/15 surprisingly well-- and I left the max ISO at the top. While ISO above 800 was pretty awful in the days of LR2, the noise reduction in LR5 is so good that I find ISO 2500 to be usable. I remembered some shots in broad daylight taken at ridiculously high ISO because I just forgot to look. So, my final decision is to leave it in Auto ISO for a week and just see what happens.
