This is a photography technique that allows you overlay photographed images on top of each other.
You can use this technique to compose shots that cannot be obtained normally.
1Hold down the release mode switch unlock button
and set the release mode switch to “p” (multiple
exposure). When you select multiple exposure
mode, the “p” icon appears in the viewfinder
display.
2According to the photography conditions, hold
down the “b” (exposure compensation) button 1
as you turn the Main-command dial 2to set the
exposure offset.
Standard compensation value in Multiple exposure
In multiple exposure, a number of images are shot in the same frame. When you are overlaying
backgrounds and subjects, you must set the appropriate exposure offset before taking any shots.
hTest shooting is recommended since the
compensation actually required varies depending
on the shooting situation.
hWhen the background is completely dark and
subjects do not overlap, no compensation is
necessary for each shot.
