There are YouTube videos explaining the exposure triangle relationship. The 3 basic things are ISO, Aperture & Shutter speed. I would learn each of these components separately. Instead of going straight to M (Manual) mode. Then follow along with the video. While making adjustments. I would also learn where all of the necessary buttons and or dials are located on your camera.

You need to move the mode dial out of green square auto mode. By turning the mode dial to M, Av, TV & P modes. If you want to control the camera settings. The mode dial also serves as the power switch on this camera.
