Both the Leica M9 manual and the firmware in the camera seem to imply that Auto ISO was intended for use with the shutter control in A (aperture preferred position). This I base on the menu settings in which you can specify the highest acceptable ISO and the slowest acceptable shutter speed. As stated in a previous email, I found this configuration to be virtually useless. The use I did find was either not intended, or not implied by either the manual nor the firmware style: I set the shutter speed to 1/250 and took a series of shots at progressive f stops. On chimping the result, I saw the ISO climbing and the set of pictures looking pretty much the same. So for all practical purposes, it is picking "shutter speed preferred".
