I am not aware of any canon source explaining the manual exit from hyperspace, but I have an answer:
Manual hyperspace exits at a precise moment aren't as difficult as it looks. The movie never showed that Han didn't do pre-jump calculation. Han just needed to manually override during last seconds.
The manual exit should be computer-aided. Starships use famous Fly by Wire technology of 60s. When Han Solo pulled the controls, it wasn't like he pulled a lever which was connected to engine with gears, ropes and pulleys. The pulling of control signalled the computer to start the procedure of exiting hyperspace. So, it shouldn't be thought that Han Solo pulled the control just after the Falcon passed the shield.
As for how Han Solo was able to pull the trigger precisely during the last seconds (even with computer aid, the margin of error is high), the answer is gut feeling. Here, experience matters and this is what movie tried to show. What's special about Han Solo? He has got lots of experience with reckless things.
