Figure 103 - Neon Restaurant Sign, Cambridge, Mass. - Multiple Exposure Mode used to take three frames that are automatically super-imposed as one image. Multi-expos ctrl. setting Bright used. Shutter speed 800, aperture f/4.0, ISO 12,800.

Continue Mult-expis set for 1 shot only or Continuously to determine if you are going to take just one Multiple Exposure sequence, or wish to continue to work in Multiple Exposure mode. Setting for 1 shot only will capture only one Multiple Exposure sequence then return to regular shooting. Continuously will allow you to continue taking Multiple Exposure sequences until you disable the Multple Exposure function.

If you set the earlier setting for On: Func/Ctrl, the merged image will be displayed during image playback, however you can delete the last individual shot after it is taken by pressing the Playback Button and selecting Undo last image before continuing onto the next shot. This way you can capture the first image you want, use it to start the sequence, and delete the subsequent images as you take them if you don’t like the ongoing results. On: Func/Ctrl must also be set to shoot multiple exposures in Live View.
