@(: I did end up "discovering" this for myself over the night, ended up basically zone focusing and raising ISO to shoot at like f5.6, by the end of it I realized I was kinda just canceling out any advantage the full frame sensor was giving me in the low light :P so all the shots that were acceptably in focus also have little to no subject background separation oopsie (i did take a thousand images though, so even with a low keeper rate the # of keepers is absolutely okay for what I was doing /shrug)
a classic street photography technique was to preset the focus at a fixed distance (say, focus at 5 meters with a decent depth of field) in order to take pictures very quickly without focusing. idk if that would even work in the context you were in, sharing for the curiosity factor
(this picture is neat too)
