When making multiple exposures, there are many factors to be

considered. You may want to experiment before making the final

exposure.

Background brightness
If the subject will move across a relatively dark background, the

exposure settings can be as indicated by the SB-24 LCD. If the
background is rather bright in relation to the subject, however,

the subject will appear faded in the final picture. We suggest
you try to underexpose the background to make the subject

stand out.

Subject overlap

If the flash frequency is so fast that each image of the subject

will overlap, the portion of the film where the subjects overlap
will become overexposed. Try to choose a flash frequency that

avoids subject overlap or use a smaller aperture to set the

exposure conditions so each exposure of the subject will be

underexposed. The overlapped portions will then be less
overexposed, but the non-overlapped portions will be darkened.

This type of experimental photography is exciting. For consist­

ently rewarding results, we suggest you keep notes of all
settings and conditions for future reference.
