Canon EOS 650 - Manual (Page 29)

8. Multiple Exposures (EOS 620 Only)
The EOS 620’s provision for multiple ex­
posures allows you to take two or more ex­
posures on the same frame for a creative ef­
fect. Preset multiple exposures up to nine
frames with the single operation of the elec­
tronic input dial are possible.
1) Press both the shooting mode selector and
the exposure compensation button
simultaneously. The “ME” mark indicating
multiple exposure status will then appear in
the display panel and the frame counter will
become “1”.
2) While pressing both turn the electronic In­
put dial to the desired number of ex­
posures. For example, set “3” on the frame
counter if you want to make three ex­
posures on the same frame.

electronic Input dial to return the frame
counter to “1”.

Notes
1. The preceding table is a general guideline.
The actual amount of exposure com­
pensation varies according to the situation.
Your technique will benefit greatly from
practice.
2. It is not advisable to make multiple ex­
posures on the first or last several frames
due to possible film curl which may
adversely affect image registration.
3. Generally, the first exposure of a series
should be a relatively dark subject so that
the image in the next exposure will show up
clearly.
4. When using a negative film, please Inform
the developer that you have taken multiple
exposures with the negative film, or your
picture taken in multiple exposure may not
be printed.
