•If the film advance mode is set to S (single frame), the first shot will be taken when the shutter release button is fully depressed. The film does not advance but the Multiple exposure indication in the viewfinder blinks. Multiple exposures can then be taken from the second shutter release. After the selected number of exposures has been taken, the film automatically advances to the next frame.

•If film advance mode is set to CL (continuous low-speed), CH (continuous high- speed) or Cs (continuous silent-low-speed), selected numbers of exposures will be taken continuously as long as you keep the shutter release button fully depressed. The film then automatically advances to the next frame and multiple exposure is canceled.

•The film does not advance and the frame counter does not increase during multiple exposure operation.

•Canceling multiple exposure

•Set the number of exposures to “0” at step 3, or perform Two-Button Reset (x 147). The film will advance to the next frame when the next shot is taken; film is not advanced if no shot is taken.

•Multiple exposure is canceled when film is rewound after setting or during multiple exposure. Multiple exposure is also canceled if the shutter release button is depressed after pressing the R1 button (the shutter curtain will not open and film will advance to the next frame).

Exposure compensation according to number of exposures

Depending on the number of exposures taken in multiple exposure, exposure compensation may be necessary since more than one image is exposed in the same frame.

• Standard compensation value:

Number of exposures

Compensation value

Two

–1.0 EV

Three

–1.5 EV

Four

–2.0 EV

Eight or Nine

–3.0 EV

•Test shooting is recommended since the actual compensation required varies according to the shooting situation.

•If the background is completely dark and subjects do not overlap, no compensation is required for each shot.

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