I tend not to use auto-ISO, preferring to keep ISO as low as possible.

But Auto-ISO does keep ISO a low as possible, for the lightness you told the camera you wanted.

Also, with auto-ISO, I found myself setting the max ISO frequently so why not just set the ISO directly - it's super quick to do on Olympus cameras.

Because, since you are not as smart as the camera, you will sometimes set it higher than it needs to be to get the target image lightness, and as a result your image will be noisier than it needs to be.
