•The first shot is taken when the shutter release button is fully depressed. The film does not advance and multiple exposures can be taken from the second shutter release.

•Z blinks in the viewfinder when the first shot is taken. The frame counters in the LCD panel and viewfinder do not count up and the counter display blinks.

•To cancel multiple exposure, set the film advance mode selector to a position other than Z. Film is advanced when the exposure meter is on or the shutter release button is lightly pressed. When the film is advanced, the frame counter counts up.

c 14: The film advance mode in multiple exposure is normally set to single- frame shooting. However, it can be set to continuous shooting (page 74).

•This function is useful for shooting nighttime scenes or stars, which require extended exposure of more than 30 sec. The shutter will be open as long as the shutter release button is kept fully depressed. (Use of a tripod is recommended.)
