Lots of good ideas here. What I would suggest (beyond classes and photo clubs which are great ideas) is to start with manual. I would actually start with manual priority and practice, practice, practice. Start thinking of and checking out depth of field and stop motion and show motion both close and far. It sounds tricky but with some help and lots of practice it will come to you.

Once you feel good with manual then you can fine tune for your preferred shots to aperture and shutter priority which will make it just a little easier and faster. After you get comfortable with that you can also try working with your ISO settings. If you can get even semi-good at these skills you'll be able to do almost anything you want. Of course there are many refinements you may want to try at that point but I'd recommend starting with manual as I advise. It's well worth it and will allow you to enjoy photography that much more. Good luck!

thank you for all the info, I appreciate that. And yes i dont have a really good understanding of photography, but i am learning an want to learn more. There is lot of things i dont undertand about my camera and i want to learn more and master it. I am retired housewife and love taking pictures now, mostly of flowers and scenery. thanks again for the info. I will study it carefully. I do understand what Iso, apature, shutter speed are , just need to learn how they all work together with my camera for a good exposure. I have gotten some really good pictures of flowers with this camera, even winning 3rd place in a contest at or local mall. Needless to say, i was thrilled. When i asked the question, I was playing around with my camera and looking at all the controls and saw one for back lighting, so was wondering if I could use that and still be in Manuel mode. Then i realized that function is under the "Scene" mode and is a choice under that mode but cannot be used with motion, so that is out because i want to capture a hummingbird with a clear image. I wil keep trying for sure
