A trick for your next attempt:
Set the exposure to +1-+2.Many cameras don't allow you to edit exposure with the lens off. Set your ISO to something higher, like 400.Tl;dr - My easy 3 step trick got out of hand.
Edit - Or just buy a macro lens, whatever.

I believe you mean shutter speed. The aperture deals with how much light is allowed in and has a direct correlation with exposure.

Hey my bad, I was totally thinking ISO at the time. If you set your ISO higher to something like 400 and your shutter speed to 1/250 it will work better. I'll fix my original post.

Although if one were looking to create small depth of field and use a fast shutter speed, the widest aperture would be the best way to go (and plus for lenses without manual aperture control, the widest aperture is default with the lens off the body)

That is a very scientific explanation. One does what one must, because, one can.
