HIE does not have DX coding (you can look at the cannister after you have
removed the film and put it in the developing tank).  Many P&S cameras will
default to a value, like EI 100, so you can use the exposure offset knob to
accommodate.  Remember, however, that you will not be metering through the
lens.\
