Multiple Exposure: “Tips”
Multiple Exposure on the E-30 works like multiple exposures on film; each successive picture increases the
exposure of the final picture.
Changing the exposure of each picture gives you control over the transparency of that picture.
o Setting Auto Gain to ON allows the camera to automatically balance the exposure of each image.
o Set Auto Gain to OFF to manually fine-tune the exposure for each image. Dark areas in an image will allow
more of the other images to show through.
o Light areas will mask other images.
The most effective way to add one subject into another is to shoot at lease one of the subjects on a black
background.
