Yes, it is the same to change ISO etc. Set to bring up the options scroll
to the option set to display the settings, scroll to the required setting
and set again to activate the setting. Fairly quick when you get used to
pressing set the extra time, but not as quick as a dial. Of course you can
still use the old way: set the camera to manual, focus, adjust the f stop
to bring up the red dot and then open or close to adjust the exposure
compensation. This is how I am still using the M when the lighting is
hard. It means I have to think but that keeps the brain ticking. I have
been setting the camera to -1/3 most of the time when I use A exposure
