Taking Photographs—Overlay/Multiple Exposur
e
Exchanging Memory Cards
Do not remove or replace the memory card while recording a multiple exposure.
Photo Info
The information listed in the playback photo information display (including date of
recording and camera orientation) is for the fi rst shot in the multiple exposure.
Voice Memos
The camera stores only the last voice memo created during a multiple exposure.
Auto Meter Off
Unless No limit is selected for Custom Setting c3 (Auto meter-off; 193) or the
camera is powered by an AC adapter, shooting will end and a multiple exposure will be
recorded if no operations are performed for 30 s. To prevent the exposure meters from
turning off before the 30 s limit has expired, 30 s are added to the auto meter-off delay
when shooting starts. The existing meter-off delay is restored when shooting ends.
White Balance ( 54)
If Auto is selected for white balance, white balance will be fi xed at a value equivalent
to Direct sunlight while multiple exposure mode is in effect. Only use Auto if the
subject is in direct sunlight.
Interval Timer Photography
If interval timer photography is activated before the fi rst exposure is taken, the camera
will record exposures at the selected interval until the number of exposures specifi ed in
the multiple exposure menu have been taken (the number of shots listed in the interval
timer shooting menu is ignored). These exposures will then be recorded as a single
photograph and multiple exposure mode and interval timer shooting will end. Note
that unless No limit is selected for Custom Setting c3 (Auto meter-off; 193) or the
camera is powered by an AC adapter, shooting will end automatically if no operations
are performed for 30 s; when recording a multiple exposure using the interval timer,
choose an interval of less than 30 s, select No limit for Custom Setting c3 (Auto me-
ter-off;
193), or use an AC adapter. Cancelling multiple exposure cancels interval
timer shooting.
Bracketing and Other Settings
Bracketing is cancelled when multiple exposure is selected and can not be restored
until shooting has ended. While multiple exposure mode is in effect, memory cards
can not be formatted and the following can not be changed: shooting menu options
other than Intvl timer shooting (Intvl timer shooting can only be adjusted before
the fi rst exposure is taken), high-speed crop, and Dust Off ref photo.
Two Button Reset ( 133)
Multiple exposure settings are not affected when a two-button reset is performed.
Performing a two-button reset does not cancel multiple exposure mode.
