Auto Exposure Bracketing is usually a good way to capture the full dynamic range. Most cameras can capture 3 shots at +/-2 EV intervals, which is a good exposure range for many typical scenes.
Auto Exposure Lock (AE Lock)
You can adjust exposures with a procedure called autoexposure lock (AE Lock) that works much like focus lock.
