Checking and Deleting Multiple Exposures During Shooting
You can shoot two to nine exposures to be merged into one image. This method is called shooting multiple exposures.
With Live View shooting, you can see in real time how the exposures are merged when you shoot multiple-exposure images. For details on how to use Live View shooting, refer to the related information.

Types of Multiple Exposure Control (Merging Images)
Operation | Description |
Additive | The exposure of each single image captured is added cumulatively. Based on the [No. of exposures], set a negative exposure compensation. Refer to the basic guide below to set the exposure compensation amount. Exposure Compensation Setting Guide for Multiple Exposures: Two exposures: -1 stop, three exposures: -1.5 stop, four exposures: -2 stops |
Based on the [No. of exposures], negative exposure compensation is set automatically as you shoot multiple exposures. If you shoot multiple exposures of the same scene, the exposure of the subject's background will be automatically controlled to obtain the standard exposure. |
Caution
The noise, irregular colors, banding, etc. of the image displayed during shooting with [Additive] set may be different from the final multiple-exposure image recorded.
