Olympus E-30 Camcorder User Manual


 
USING MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
The E-30 gives you the ability to combine
more than one image into a single shot. It can
be difficult to create a multiple exposure image
- controlling the composition of a series of
images can be tough – until now.
In less than five minutes you can combine up to
four images in one shot using the E-30’s Live
View LCD.
Multiple Exposure During Capture:
o Multiple Exposure – Up to 4 frames JPEG or RAW
o Multiple Exposure with Overlay – Up to 3 frames plus RAW overlay
You can also select up to 4 previously recorded RAW images and combine them in a
single image– see page 2.
STEP-BY-STEP
1) Camera 2 Menu
2) Frame - Select the number of
exposures, up to 4.
Select from [2F], [3F], or [4F] for the
number of pictures to take.
3) Auto Gain: ON – Automatically sets the brightness of each image
When set to [ON], the brightness of each frame is set to “1 over the number of pictures taken”
and the images are overlaid. For example, when the number of frames equals four, each image
is set to an exposure of ¼. When set to [OFF], the images are overlaid with the original
brightness of each frame.
“Gain” refers to the brightness of the picture.
The final image can look overexposed if each picture is taken at a normal
exposure level. Be sure to adjust the exposure for each picture so the
final image is properly exposed, or set Auto Gain to ON in the menu.
When set to [ON], the brightness of each frame is automatically controlled
by the camera so that the combination of images will yield an overall
pleasing exposure.
Notes:
