Multiple Exposure
(User’s Manual: D300S page 184; D300 page 186)
Multiple exposure is the process whereby you take more than
one exposure on a single frame, or picture. Most of us will
only do double exposures, which is two exposures on one
frame.
Multiple exposure requires you to figure the exposure values
carefully for each exposure segment so that in the final
picture, all the combined exposures equal one normal
exposure. In other words, if you are going to do a non-masked
double exposure, your background will need two exposures at
half the normal exposure value to equal one normal exposure.
The D300(S) allows us to figure our own exposure settings
and do them manually, and it gives us Auto gain to help us
with exposure calculations.
There are really only three steps to setting up a Multiple
exposure session. However, there are six Shooting Menu
screens we’ll use to do these three steps. The steps are as
follows:
▪ Select the Number of shots you want to take from the
Shooting Menu screens.
▪ Set Auto gain to either On or Off according to how you
want to control exposure.
▪ Take the picture.
As mentioned, there are six Shooting Menu screens involved
in setting up the Multiple exposure system (see Figure 3-55).
