Thanks for the suggestions. Can you elaborate on the third suggestion? Benefits, how to do it, etc.?
I usally put the shutter speed around 1/125 sec (or even faster). If there's enough light that shutter speed will be used and the camera will calculate the proper aperture. If there is not enough light (eg. the largest aperture isn't sufficient for a proper exposure with the given shutter speed), shutter speed will be slower. With a fast, not-wide lens (55mm f/1.4 or 85mm f/1.8 in my case), the largest aperture produces so shallow DOF that I would like to have a smaller aperture. Shutter priority + safety shift gives me that IF there's enough light.
