What is the best way for me to learn how to use my digital camera?

I have the fuji finepix s1500 and i love it but i can't help but feel there are so many more things i would be able to do if i understood iso or how to change shutter speed ect. I have looked through the manual multiple times but they don't seem to cover any of those things, where can i learn how to use my camera to the fullest? thanks in advance.

Three things-



Get a good book on photography. Ansel Adam's books like 'Camera' are a good place to start.



Take your camera out and start experimenting.



If possible, click few rolls of film on a SLR and master the basics.

You can change the aperture and shutter speed on your camera, so your manual should show you how to do it. Then it just takes a lot of practice. And buying a good book on photography will help, too.
