I used a Coolpix 950 and have now a D70.

If you want to shoot every picture of your pano with the same exposure
like the first one just use M. First, I use an automatic mode like A to
select the aperture and take a look at the speed I point the lens in
all directions. If the speed stays nearly constant then I switch to M
and use the average speed setting. If I want to be very quick and the
panorama is outdoors then point the camera at 90 degrees to the sun,
set the exposure in M mode and fire away (risky, depends on the amount
of shadow in the panorama).
If you use a tripod you can use bracketing in mode A. Set it to 3
frames at +1 for example. Then make three pictures from the same
position.
