Hi, Holly

Since I know you are shooting in the same area as I was, 400 will work most of
the time, but also try a third or half or so over that (e.g. 320, 250) as I
have sometimes found 400 a little too dark. This way you can see that a little
can go a long way with EIR. Also, if your camera meter is off a little bit,
this initial test can pick up on that.
