Compose picture, confirm focus indicator / and shoot.
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.
