I heard that for your 50mm f/8 is ok... so you may start with this aperture and ... move your settings...
Ask the others which setting they are using... and try them... don't forget to take your manual with you as well... it is horrible when a red light is flashing and you are clueless about what it means... and don't be afraid to use manual mode... take one in program mode and see the setting the camera gives, then play with those settings in manual mode...
Things that are important to know, I think, is where automatic exposure lock button is... how to set the self-timmer ....
A tripod is a must, and a plastic bag always is a good idea to carry with you... if it is a bit windy you can always fill the bag with stones and hang it in the tripod it will make it sturdy... and you don't need to carry a heavy tripod...
It could be really great if you had another card... it is so sad that the sunset is going on and your are downloading your pictures into the device...
Try to go out and take lots of pictures to get familiar where the buttons are...
and btw, Congratulations on your new toy
It is a wonderful camera, you'll have a lot of fun!!

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
