• Z appears in the LCD panel when the Multiple Exposure is set.

2 Rotate the Command Dial while pressing the ∆ button to set the necessary Exposure Compensation.

• Test shooting is recommended since the compensation actually required varies depending on the shooting situation.

•When the background is completely dark and subjects do not overlap, no compensation is necessary for each shot.
