..and it is briefly mentioned again on page 73 "If your source is
tungsten, candle or firelight (i.e. a continuous light source):

-  There is infrared light present.

-  There is little or no blue light present.

-  Remove your filter and shoot according to your meter.

-  If the scene is two or three stops too dark for your to shoot, try
an an underexposed frame.  The source light might include a wealth
of infrared illumination your meter cannot detect."

Why not try it - what is the price of a few frames compared to
satisfying one's curiosity, regardless of the outcome?
