I just had the s---t scared out of me. I took the SD card out of my 
M9 and processed a few shots in LR4. I put the card back in the 
camera and reformatted it. I then noticed that the main menu cycled 
through only about eight alternatives and the ISO button on the left 
was inoperative.

I was just about to think about re-installing the firmware into my 
"busted" camera when I noticed that the camera had somehow (mea 
culpa) gotten into "snapshot mode".

Now why in hell would anyone who spent $7000 on a camera want to put 
it into an idiot point-and-shoot mode? I can just barely accept the 
fact that there is an option for the camera to output .jpg although I 
can't image using it myself. But snapshot mode !#$&^%$#!#$^%#$!!!!!
