All-auto except iris?

Just a quick question, google didn't help. When taking stills with the 5dmk2, what mode on the camera is auto-everything EXCEPT iris? Can't figure it out... thanks.
 
Turn the mode dial to Av and then hit the ISO button and turn it all the way down until it says "A" on the display. Now that you know how, DON'T! The mk2 makes terribly poor choices when it comes to auto-ISO. You'll often end up with ridiculously slow shutter speeds and, unless you are using a tripod and not photographing anything moving, get a lot of shaky, blurry images.
 
For stills, set it to Av mode. Set the limits for the ISO, so that it doesn't go beyond that. Then click. It is always advisable to turn the knob to get the desired shutter speed and the ISO before clicking. Even while shooting wildlife, I don't use auto everything.
