Exchanging Memory Cards
Do not remove or replace the memory card while recording a multiple exposure.
Photo Info
The information listed in the playback photo information display (including date of record-
ing and camera orientation) is for the fi rst shot in the multiple exposure.
Auto Meter Off
Unless No Limit is selected for Custom Setting c3 (Auto Meter-Off ; 157) or the camera
is powered by an optional EH-6 AC adapter, shooting will end and a multiple exposure will
be recorded if no operations are performed for 30 s. To prevent the exposure meters from
turning off before the 30 s limit has expired, 30 s are added to the auto meter-off delay
when shooting starts. The existing meter-off delay is restored when shooting ends.
White Balance ( 35)
If Auto is selected for white balance, white balance will be fi xed at a value suitable for
direct sunlight while multiple exposure mode is in eff ect. Only use Auto if the subject is
in direct sunlight.
Interval Timer Photography
If interval timer photography is activated before the fi rst exposure is taken, the camera will
record exposures at the selected interval until the number of exposures specifi ed in the
multiple exposure menu have been taken (the number of shots listed in the interval timer
shooting menu is ignored). These exposures will then be recorded as a single photograph
and multiple exposure mode and interval timer shooting will end. Note that unless No
Limit is selected for Custom Setting c3 (Auto Meter-Off ;
157) or the camera is pow-
ered by an optional EH-6 AC adapter, shooting will end automatically if no operations are
performed for 30 s; when recording a multiple exposure using the interval timer, choose an
interval of less than 30 s, select No Limit for Custom Setting c3 (Auto Meter-Off ;
157),
or use an AC adapter. Cancelling multiple exposure cancels interval timer shooting.
Bracketing and Other Settings
Bracketing is cancelled when multiple exposure is selected and can not be restored until
shooting has ended. While multiple exposure mode is in eff ect, memory cards can not be
formatted and the following can not be changed: shooting menu options other than Intvl
Timer Shooting (Intvl Timer Shooting can only be adjusted before the fi rst exposure is
taken), Dust Off Ref Photo, and Mirror Lock-up.
Two Button Reset ( 97)
Multiple exposure settings are not aff ected when a two-button reset is performed. Per-
forming a two-button reset does not cancel multiple exposure mode.
