Which mFT cameras offer Auto-ISO in M mode?

It appears that neither my E-M5 or E-PM2 offer auto ISO in M mode. I am curious which mFT bodies do offer this option - does anyone know of a list showing this? Or if there is a trick to enabling this on an E-M5 - I haven't found one.

I am fully aware that adding auto anything to M mode no longer makes it truly an M mode, but would rather avoid that topic here, there are other threads already for that.

Thanks

They both have auto ISO in Manual mode.

It needs to be set up in the Custom menus, try Custom Menu E - ISO-Auto - set to All and it works.

...but what you don't get is EV adjustments with auto ISO in M.

Thanks, I really should have dove into the menu before posting, as I do recall seeing this now!

Yes, good point. Using P mode is an option in some cases, assuming you want to control the aperture, exp. comp, and let the SS & ISO float. Not helpful if you want to go below the low SS threshold though. I haven't actually tried P mode myself. For me, it's usually A, then M when I want more control.
