I don't have the camera that you have, so, i wont be able to tell you exact details. But there are somethings that are true for every camera focusing on celestial objects,these are, keep the camera on tripod so that its not shaky, keep the rapid clicking mode on, exposure depends on the size and brightness of the body, like if the moon is full, you are going to need lesser exposure time as compared to half moon normally, i think you will need wide exposures and here is a software "The Photographer's Ephemeris" that can be very useful if at all you are into celestial photography.

I have the same camera and am new to this and the manuel settings i just use the scn and set it on backlight or one of the night settings, but the backlight setting worked the best for me with the moon pics
