You can shoot two to nine exposures to be merged into one image. With Live View shooting, you can see in real time how the exposures are merged when you shoot multiple-exposure images.
Shooting Multiple Exposures
1. Turn on the camera.
2. Select the shooting mode.
Press the lock release button
Turn the Mode Dial
3. Select Multiple exposure.
Caution
You can also set multiple exposure with [ : Multiple exposure ].
4. Select [Multiple exposure].
Option | Description |
On: Func/Ctrl (Function and control priority) | Convenient when you want to shoot multiple exposures while checking the result as you proceed. During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed will decrease greatly. |
On: ContShtng (Continuous shooting priority) | Geared for continuous multiple-exposure shooting of a moving subject. Continuous shooting is possible, but the following operations are disabled during shooting: menu viewing, Live View display, image review after image capture, image playback, and undo last image. Also, only the multiple-exposure image will be saved. (The single exposures merged in the multiple-exposure image will not be saved.) |
5. Set [Multi-expos ctrl].
Item | Description |
Additive | Each exposure is added to the image cumulatively. Based on the [No. of exposures], set a negative exposure compensation. Refer to the basic guide below to set a negative exposure compensation.
Exposure Compensation Setting Guide by Number of Exposures Two exposures: -1 stop, three exposures: -1.5 stop, four exposures: -2 stops |
Average | 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 a standard exposure. |
Bright/Dark | The brightness (darkness) of the base image and the images to be added are compared at the same position, and then the bright part (dark part) will be left in the picture. Depending on the overlapping colors, the colors may be mixed depending on the brightness ratio (darkness ratio) of the compared images. |
6. Set the [No. of exposures].
7. Set the images to be saved.
Item | Description |
All images | To save all the single exposures and the merged multiple-exposure image |
Result only | To save only the merged multiple-exposure image |
8. Set [Continue Mult-exp].
Item | Description |
1 shot only | Multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled automatically after the shooting ends. |
Continuously | Multiple-exposure shooting continues until the setting in step 4 is set to [Disable]. |
9. Take the first exposure.
Remaining number of exposures
10. Shoot subsequent exposures.

Checking and Deleting Multiple Exposures During Shooting
When [On:Func/Ctrl] is set and you have not finished shooting the set number of exposures, you can press the ⋖⋗ button to check the current exposure level, overlap alignment, and overall effect of the merged multiple-exposure image. (Not possible when [On:ContShtng] is set.)
If you press the ⋖⋗ button, the operations possible during multiple-exposure shooting will be displayed.
Operation | Description |
Deletes the last image you shot (shoot another image). The number of remaining exposures will increase by 1. | |
If [Save source imgs: All images] is set, all of the single exposures and the merged multiple-exposure image will be saved before exiting. If [Save source imgs: Result only] is set, only the multiple-exposure image merged so far will be saved before exiting. | |
Multiple-exposure shooting will end without saving the images shot. | |

Caution
During multiple-exposure shooting, you can only play back multiple-exposure images.
