The Slr, shutter and lens

If you wanted to shoot a sprint at the track meet and your shutter speed was set at 60 you would want to leave it on 60 because anything lower would make it the picture soft.If you wanted to shoot outside on a bright, sunny day and you wanted to get as much stuff in focus as possible, you would want to use F22 because that's what you use when it's bright outside. It's like your pupil so it has to get smaller to adjust to the bright light.

A few things to remember.
Shutter speed doesn't affect the softness of the photo- that is the focus.

Shutter Speed
A shutter speed of sixty is the lowest speed for shooting relatively still scenes. To stop action, you want it as high as possible.

Aperture
F-2 might lead to an over exposure, you are right, but if you increase the shutter speed, this will fix that problem. This question was really about depth of field. You want an f-22 because it will lead to a long depth of field.
