Emanuel Caristi starts his photography tutorial on shooting in manual mode, with a Photography Cheat Sheet.
Shooting in manual mode is nothing mystical or for which you should be afraid, especially if you are not under pressure and you have time to meditate on your settings. Learning these simple technical knowledge will give you the photography fundaments, necessary to be confident with your camera and to taking control of the action.
All you need to know to start to take well-exposed pictures is how Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO affect your photos.
