After your first overview of the features your camera possesses, decide what you would like to explore the most. Pick only one special feature. Read the instructions on what this feature can do and how to use it. Don't worry if it isn't completely clear, that will come in time.
Now the fun part. Take your camera and start using this special feature. Try all the different settings within this one feature. See how your pictures change. Explore what this feature does. Don't stop until you know this feature inside and out and don't go onto the next feature until you have fully explored this one.
When you are satisfied you know the ins and outs of one special feature, return to the owner's manual and pick another special feature you would like to learn. Repeat the above process with this feature, only returning to the manual when you are satisfied you have mastered the new skill.
By working through the owner's manual in this way, you will find it isn't so overwhelming. The hands-on practice of each skill will help you learn it thoroughly. When you have covered all the cool things your camera will do, go out and enjoy them all. You will be glad you took the time to become friends with this wonderful creation.
