Multiple exposure provides a way of overlaying
images on top of each other to give a final image
that cannot be got through normal photography.
●

When the image is overexposed, use negative compensation
in the Brightness (exposure compensation) setting to correct
the exposure (➡P.53).
●
!
Only the optical zoom can be used for multiple exposure
shots. The digital zoom (➡P.28) does not function.

‘PHOTOMETRY
Use this setting for scenes where the brightness of the
subject and background differ markedly so that the
MULTI setting is unlikely to achieve the desired result.
)MULTI (Pattern):
Light metering where the camera assesses the
scene and selects the correct exposure.
_SPOT:
Light metering where the exposure is optimized
for the center of the image.
+AVERAGE:
Light metering where an average value for the
entire image is used.
●
!
In the “B”, “?” and “r” modes, light metering is locked
at the MULTI setting and cannot be changed.
◆The photometry modes are effective for the following subjects ◆
hMULTI
In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide optimum
exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for everyday photography.
hSPOT
This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting light and dark areas where you want to achieve the
correct exposure for a particular feature.
hAVERAGE
The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions or subjects.
This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing and shots of scenery.
