c 3: Bracketing order can be set to change from negative EV value to positive EV value (page 71).

3 Compose picture, focus and shoot.

• Compensated shutter speed and aperture values are displayed during shooting.

• To cancel the Bracketing, rotate the Main-Command Dial while pressing the ¸ button so z disappears from the LCD panel or perform Two-Button Reset (page 76). The number of shots and compensated EV values previously selected will remain when they are cancelled with the Main- Command Dial, and they automatically reset to “3F 0.5” when the Two- Button Reset is performed.

Multiple Exposure

•Multiple exposure consists of two or more exposures of one or more subjects in the same frame. Multiple exposure can be performed in any of the available exposure modes.

1Rotate and set the film advance mode selector to Z while pressing the film advance mode selector lock release.

• Z appears in the viewfinder.

2 Rotate the Main-Command Dial while pressing the ∆ button to set the necessary exposure compensation.

Exposure

Standard compensation value in Multiple exposure

• If the exposure compensation function (page 60) or flash exposure compensation (page 85) is also set, Bracketing will be combined with the exposure compensation values. It is useful to perform Bracketing with a compensated value of over +2 EV or under –2 EV.

• With film advance mode in ˜ (continuous shooting), fully depress and hold the shutter release button until the set number of shots has been taken and film advance stops automatically.

Exposure compensation is necessary depending on the number of exposures in Multiple exposure since more than one image is exposed in the same frame.

Number of exposures Compensation value

Two

–1.0 EV

Three

–1.5 EV

Four

–2.0 EV

Eight or Nine

–3.0 EV

• If the end of the film roll is reached during Bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after new film has been loaded. Also, if you turn the power switch off during Bracketing, the remaining shots can be taken after the power is turned back on.

• Bracketing is performed with one frame at a time when the self-timer (page 68) is set.

•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.

•In some cases, frames may shift slightly in multiple exposure. In particular, film advance becomes unstable at the beginning and near the end of a film roll so multiple exposure is not recommended.
