As Bobspez pointed out, using shutter priority mod... (show quote)
Like you said yourself, the change in depth of field happened, because the adjustment of the aperture and not the change in shutter speed!

As a senior citizen that uses a cane or walker many times, I find myself holding my camera (Canon G9X) in one hand while composing the subject. Many times when the camera is set on “automatic” the results will be blurred because of a shaky hand. I have subsequently been setting my camera on “Shutter preferred quote, and while that seems to cure the blurriness, it also changes the depth of field. How can I get both a sharp picture and maintain the fast shutter speed, like around 1/1000?

Not cheap, but better than the Cotton carrier IMO.

Using a walking stick/monopod with ball head would help. Going to an Olympus or Panasonic with in-body stabilization would help also.

Have you considered using a monopod? They are far lighter and easier to carry when attached to a camera than a tripod, but shpuld do a good job helping you steady your camera.
