Sure, but trying to get a girl's entire body in focus at f1.8 or even f2.5 isn't going to be easy... unless that's the look that is desired. That's why I suggested a flash, although that brings its own issues to the table. I generally use a single 580EX bounced off the ceiling - which prevents the deer caught in the headlights look - but that will probably be too heavy for a 400D (on my 350D it feels very unbalanced)
