Otherwise it's set at base ISO and either exposure compensation or manual exposure will be used. So options are good!! Of course it's not quite as good as many DSLRs out there where you can simply set exposure manually (speed and aperture) and the camera will adjust the ISO... BTW, Tina, with the M240 you have two other metering options (spot and "advanced"), but they are only available with live view (either the back LCD or external viewer). I've tried advanced and it works pretty well in difficult situations...
