Manual exposure = manual focus & manual f-stop (probably what I should have said

Best to use the Looney-Tooney "histogram" which will show overexposure if you're going for capturing the full range of brightness (well, that's close to impossible but "more of the full range"). Short using a histogram, bracketing around a good looking exposure will help.
Then, there's HDR which is another topic and best left for another thread.
