Hello,

I'm trying to set a minimum shutter speed without it to be overriden when the camera detects that the exposure isn't high enough. I've heard about the safety shift in the custom exposure functions and it is set to Disable, but in Aperture Priority Mode, darker situations still goes below my minimum set shutter speed.

Do you guys know if I'm missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Not an exact answer - but I would suggest the easiest way to deal with your issue is to use manual mode with auto ISO, and choose your own shutter speed and aperture. Then you can set a maximum ISO if you choose.

Setting a max ISO in M mode, of course, will never limit noise; it will just give you darker JPEG and review images and slightly more post-gain read noise due to a lower ISO setting than what would be "normal" for the manual exposure.

Correct, of course, but you can make that ISO limit quite high, and if the aim is to have a sharp image due to an acceptably fast shutter speed (assuming handheld or subject movement), then noise and/or underexposure is the inevitable consequence. You have to compromise on one part of the exposure triangle. The OP specifically complained about an unacceptably slow shutter speed.

Do you have a different suggestion?
