At night I try to take picture which tend to involve landscape and lights. IN my auto mode the pics are always over exposed, when I lessen exposure it fixes the light problem but makes other objects to dark. Is there other settings I could use?
Flash is not an option due to distance.

Your going to have to use photoshop. Sounds like your camera is working fine. Its the zone system man. You cant have both the lights and the other objects exp the same. Due to the fact that the lights are much brighter than the other stuff. Try shooting on auto and just darken the photo in photoshop. I am not 100% sure what you are wanting maybe if you had a photo too see I could help out more. check out my myspace I have a few night photos on there.

This is a common problem. If you can get more light in the distance, it would not be, but as you say, it is a distance thing. The best thing would be to take at least two or maybe three shots on a tripod. Vary your exposure, but nothing else. Then you can layer them in Photoshop and use blending to get it.
If it is just one scene, I would be happy to help (no charge). Write me and I will send you my real email (if I have not done that already).
Hearty good wishes
