Set the camera to the "M" mode. See the number on the bottom left side? It should say 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, etc. That's your shutter speed. So 1/4 would be 1/4 of a second. Press "set" to select it. If you want a faster shutter speed, press the right button (and vice versa).

To set the aperature, press set until the arrow points at F__. F2.8 is useful for when you want to take a picture of something close to you and have a blurry background (I use it for pictures of my bettas, for example). As you go higher and higher in the aperature number, the background gets clearer (and the picture gets darker).

If you wanna go totally manual, you can also manually focus the camera. Press the macro button twice (until it says "MF"). Then press left or right until it's focused.
