    # Cautions
    •  The camera will not go to sleep while multiple exposure is in effect.
    •  Photographs taken with other cameras cannot be included in a multiple ex\
    posure.
    •  When [Overlay] is set to [On], the images displayed when a RAW image is selected are 
    developed with the settings at the time of shooting.
    •  To set the shooting functions, cancel multiple exposure shooting  fi rst. Some functions 
    cannot be set.
    •  Multiple exposure is cancelled automatically from the  fi rst picture in the following 
    situations.

    •  When a RAW image is selected using [Overlay], the JPEG image for the image record\
    ed  in JPEG+RAW is displayed.
    •  When shooting multiple exposures using bracketing, priority is given to \
    multiple exposure  shooting. While the overlay image is being saved, bracketing is reset to\
