I don't think ieR is asking you to shoot a green copier object, but instead, look at that dial on your camera on the top left panel, turn it to the green color AUTO position and use that while you get familiar with your camera. Which lens are you using? Most lenses, not only kit lens, will perform better in a condition with good lighting. Have you read the camera's manual?

Added on October 15, 2011, 6:25 pmwant to ask, if shooting using manual mode using flash gun, how to check weather im correctly exposed or not. although im heavily underexposed, the left side of the meter blinking, but the picture taken still ok...
im shooting under ttl mode.
That's because you're in TTL mode. Read up on TTL / through-the-lens in google or Wikipedia and try to grasp as much as you can from the articles.
Read here if you admit you are lazy:

with manual, the settings you are using; shutter speed/aperture/ISO combination will give you an underexposed exposure. By using a flash in TTL, your camera will fire a pre-flash out onwards the scene and your camera's metering system will evaluate how much fill light is needed to compensate to properly expose the scene and instructs the flash to fire the correct amount of light in it's 2nd 'actual' blast of light. So there is actually 2 shots of flash whenever you use your flash in TTL mode. If you don't believe, set your shutter speed to 2 seconds, then fire a shot with your flash attached, you will notice an initial flash, followed by a 2nd blast when your shutter (not SHUTTLE, as i always notice many ppl make this silly mistake) curtain actually triggers and finishes up the entire exposure sequence.
