Default canon s80 and action shots

HI I've just got a new S80, and whilst looking at all the bells and
whistles I'm surprised I can't see an 'action' mode. What's the best
way to capture fast action? Set a high TV? Change the ISO?
hope someone can help.
cheers
DW

Use the highest iso you can till noise is an issue for you, the widest
lens-aperature opening and fastest shutter speed. The closer you zoom
the more speed is needed , you have a nice camera but not a truely fast
one, the brighter the day the better your results will be.

Having set the first 2 (agreed) the third (shutter speed)
should/will be worked out by the camera.

if you (manually) set all 3, you're pretty much asking
for dodgy exposures.
