I thought that the "snapshot mode" was dropped with the M9?

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