Read the manual...best tip I can give you

Then either read some books on basic photography or, if you can swing it, a local class at a community college will help immensly. Even joining a local photography club will help you gain advice with folks right there to help.

I agree here. Read it cover to cover. Also, try to pick up some basic photography books, they help a ton.
