    3Set [Multi-expos ctrl].
      Select the desired multiple-exposure 
    control method, then press < 0>.
      Additive
    The exposure of each single exposure  is added cumulatively. Based on 
    the [No. of exposures], set a negative exposu re compensation. Refer 
    to the basic guide below to set  a negative exposure compensation.
    Exposure Compensation Setting Guide for Multiple ExposuresTwo exposures: -1 stop, three exposures:  -1.5 stop, four exposures: -2 stops
     Average
    Based on the [ No. of exposures ], negative exposure compensation 
    is set automatically as you shoot  multiple exposures. If you shoot 
    multiple exposures of the same scene, the exposure of the subject’s 
    background will be automatically controlled to obtain a standard 
    exposure. If you want to change the exposure of each single 
    exposure, select [ Additive].
      Bright/Dark
    The brightness (or darkness) of the base image and the images to 
    be added are compared at the same  position, and then the bright (or 
    dark) part will be left in the pi cture. Depending on the overlapping 
    colors, the colors may be mixed depending on the brightness (or 
    darkness) ratio of the compared images.
    4Set the [No. of exposures].
      Turn the < 5> dial to select the 
    number of exposures, then press 
    < 0 >.
      You can set it from 2 to 9 exposures.
    If [On:Func/Ctrl] and [ Additive] are both set, the image displayed 
    during shooting may look  noisy. However, when you finish shooting the 
    set number of exposures, noise reduction will be  applied and the final 
    multiple-exposure imag e that is recorded will have less noise.

      To save only the merged multiple-
    exposure image, select [ Result 
    only ], then press < 0>.
    6Select [Continue Mult-exp].
      Select either [ 1 shot only] or 
    [Continuously ], then press .
      With [ 1 shot only ], multiple-exposure 
    shooting will be canceled 
    automatically after the shooting ends.
      With [ Continuously ], multiple- 
    exposure shooting continues until the 
    setting in step 2 is set to [ Disable].
    7Take the first exposure.
    XWhen [On:Func/Ctrl ] is set, the 
    captured image will be displayed.
    X The < P> icon will blink.
     
    The number of remaining exposures is 
    displayed on the right of the viewfinder 
    and in brackets [ ] on the screen.
     Pressing the  button enables you 
    to view the captur ed image (p.185).Remaining number of

    correction will be disabled.
      The image-recording quality, ISO spee d, Picture Style, high ISO speed 
    noise reduction and color space, etc. se t for the first single exposure will 
    also be set for the subsequent exposures.

    8Shoot subsequent exposures.
    X When [On:Func/Ctrl ] is set, the merged multiple-exposure 
    image will be displayed.
      With Live View shooting, the mu ltiple-exposure images merged 
    so far will be displayed. By pressing the < B> button, you can 
    display only the Live View image.
      After you shoot the set number of  exposures, multiple-exposure 
    shooting will be canceled. With  continuous shooting, after you 
    finish shooting the set number of  exposures while holding down 
    the shutter button, the shooting will stop.
      With multiple exposures, the more  exposures there are, the more 
    noticeable the noise, irregular colors , and banding will be. Also, as noise 
    increases with higher ISO speeds,  shooting at low ISO speeds is 
    recommended.
     
    If [Additive] is set, the image processing after taking the multiple exposures 
    will take time. (The access lamp will light up for longer than usual.)
     If you perform Live View shooting while [On:Func/Ctrl] and [Additive] are 
    both set, the Live View function will stop automatically when the multiple 
    exposure shooting ends.
      In step 8, the brightness and nois e of the multiple-exposure image 
    displayed during Live View shooting will be different from the final 
    multiple-exposure image recorded.
      If [On:ContShtng ] is set, let go of the shut ter button after shooting the 
    set number of exposures.
     
    If the power switch is set to  or the battery is  replaced after you set 
    multiple exposure settings, multiple -exposure shooting will be canceled.
     If you switch the sh ooting mode to  while shooting, 
    multiple-exposure sh ooting will end.
      When multiple exposure  is set or during multiple-exposure shooting, you 
    cannot use the grayed out fu nctions in the camera menu.
      If you connect the  camera to a person al computer or printer, multiple-
    exposure cannot be set.
    When [ On:Func/Ctrl ] is set, you can press the < x> button during shooting 
    to view the multiple exposures taken  so far or delete the last single 
    exposure (p.185).

    number of remaining exposures as 
    set with [No. of exposures ] will 
    decrease by 1. For example, if [ No. of 
    exposures ] is 3, you can shoot two 
    exposures.
    Merging Multiple Exposures with an Image Recorded in the Card
     Images shot with highligh t tone priority set to [Enable], or with cropping 
    information appended (p.331)  cannot be selected as the first single exposure.
     Auto Lighting Optimizer, peripheral  illumination correction and chromatic 
    aberration correction will be disabled , regardless of the settings of the 
    1  image selected as the  first single exposure.
     
    The ISO speed, Picture Style, high ISO  speed noise reduction, and color space, 
    etc., set for the first 1 image will also be set  for the subsequent images. If the first  1 image’s Picture Style is [Auto ], the [Standard ] Picture 
    Style will be set for  the subsequent images.
      You cannot select an image  taken with another camera.

      Are there any restrictions on the image-recording quality?All JPEG image-recording quality  settings can be selected. If 41 or 
    61 is set, the merged multiple-exposure will be recorded as a 1 image.
      Can I merge images recorded in the card?With [ Select image for multi. expo. ], you can select the first single 
    exposure from the images recorded on the card (p.184). Note that you 
    cannot merge multiple images already recorded on the card.
      Are multiple exposures possible with Live View shooting?With [ On:Func/Ctrl ] set, you can shoot multiple exposures with Live 
    View shooting (p.199). 
      What file numbers are used for saving merged multiple-
    exposures?
    If all images are set to be saved,  the merged multiple-exposure image file 
    number will be the serial number comi ng after the file number of the final 
    single exposure used to create the merged multiple-exposure image.
      Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure 
    shooting?
    As long as [ 52: Auto power off ] is not set to [Disable], the power will 
    turn off automatically after 30 min. of non-operation. If the auto power off 
    takes effect, multiple-exposure shoo ting will end, and multiple-exposure 
    settings will be canceled. Before star ting the multiple-exposure shooting, 
    the auto power off will take effect as  set with the camera, and multiple-
    exposure settings will be canceled.

    Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera 
    shake, using mirror lockup to prevent  camera vibrations (mirror shock) 
    can also help when you use a super  telephoto lens or shoot close ups 
    (macro photography).
    1Set [Mirror lockup].
     Under the [ z3] tab, select [Mirror 
    lockup ], then press < 0>.
      Select [Enable ] or [Enable: Mirror 
    down w/ s], then press < 0>.
    2Focus the subject, then press the 
    shutter button completely.
    XThe mirror will swing up, and the 
     icon will blink on the top LCD 
    panel.
    3Press the shutter button 
    completely again.
    X The picture will be taken.
      With [ Enable] set, the mirror will go 
    back down when the shooting ends.
      If [Enable: Mirror down w/ s] is 
    set, the mirror lockup will be 
    maintained even after shooting. To 
    cancel the mirror lockup, press .

     In very bright light such  as at the beach or a sk i slope on a sunny day, 
    take the picture prompt ly after mirror lockup.
      Do not point the camera  toward the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and 
    damage the shutter curtains.
      If you use the self-timer and mirror  lockup in combination with bulb 
    exposure, keep pressing the shutter  button completely (self-timer delay 
    time + bulb exposure time ). If you let go of the shutter button during the 
    self-timer countdown, there will  be a shutter-release sound, but no 
    picture will be taken.
      During mirror lockup, shooting func tion settings and menu operations, 
    etc. are disabled.
      When [Enable ] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive 
    mode is set to co ntinuous. When [Enable: Mirror down w/ s] is set, 
    the current drive mode will  take effect for the shooting.
      You can also use the self-t imer with mirror lockup.
      If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror  has locked up, it will go back down 
    automatically. Pressing the  shutter button completely again locks up the 
    mirror again.
      For mirror lockup shooti ng, using a tripod and Remote Switch RS-80N3 
    (sold separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) 
    is recommended (p.179).
