Setting the function dials when using a manual focus lens

Hello,

 

I attached a Leica M lens using the adapter to the Leica TL2. If i set the operating mode to manual, the left dial Is set to Zoom, and the right to shutter speed.

 

However, I would like auto exposure, so I switched to Aperture Priority, hoping to set the left dial to zoom and the right to EV. But the right dial is set to ISO and for the life of me i cant change this!

 

My ideal setup (when using the manual m lenses) is right dial zoom, right dial to EV. This is how I’m used to it on my Fuji XT1 : when a manual lens is attached, the exposure is automatic, and i use the EV compensation dial to tweak the exposure.

 

Am i missing something? I’m going to the Leica SF store for answers.

 

Cheers
