I only saw one response to your post, and it really missed the obvious which you probably already discovered. Using those settings outdoors would usually result in a considerable overexposure. A good starting place on a sunny day is a shutter speed of 1/ISO at f/16. Adjust from there for cloudy days, open shade etc.

As far as indoors, that is completely dependent on the amount of available light. There is no universal starting point for manual settings indoors. Use your camera's meter.

Depth of field, focus and noise issues are secondary to getting the exposure correct.
