I don't know if that's possible on this camera. Also the flash doesn't go off in sportsmode.
You would get really clear pics outdoors in good light with that mode.
actually I´ve taken outside pics in sports and they still come out grainy...

yes you can adjust the aperture speed... using it in av or manual modes....

but it´s better to play around and see what best fits your needs.... maybe a 350 speed and 3.5 aperture is too much... sometimes 125 speed does the trick....sometimes 600 or even 1200 speed... but it really depends on what you ´ll like your pics to come up as....

example with higher speed you can get flowing water to look freeze on mid air.. while lower may seem as it is flowing and leaving a "trace cast"
