Did you get a manual with it? But then I guess there is no instruction on how to set it up for sports.

Yes please download the manual and of course it wouldn't tell you how to set it up for sports. I personally don't think there should be a setup for any kind of photography. Perhaps someone else can help you.

Here's the best (in my opinion) guide to using your new camera:

Should be available on-line at Canon Support
The search box at the link above isn't exactly intuitive. The search box responds with candidate cameras if you begin by typing in: EOS
Either watch / scroll down to EOS 1DX, or use this link to the relevant page and download the 17.5MP Instruction Manual in PDF format.

The 1D series is about as complex as you can get. Even downloading the manual is complex as the Instruction Manual is actually a ZIP that has two formats of the manual compressed inside. Extract the larger of the two files and use that as your PDF Instruction Manual. Then, start on page 29 - Getting Started.

Well with the D1X you can set the shutter speed and ISO much higher than you can 43 years ago with a SLR.

Regardless of any equipment speed/aperture capability limits, the process is still the same.

They didn't have all kinds of autofocus modes 43 years ago.
