Pentax 645 - ADVANCED TECHNIQUES; MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
Setting multiple exposure is possible by pushing
and simultaneously turning the multi-exposure ring
in the direction of the arrow. When the shutter is
released while in this state, the first exposure is
made. Repeat the same for the second or third
exposure, so that multiple exposure can be made
on the same frame; only the shutter is cocked
without film being advanced. The multi-exposure
ring (M.E.) will automatically return to its original
position immediately after shutter releasing
function.
When cancelling multiple exposure, simply return
the multi-exposure ring to its former position.
After loading film, multiple exposure should not be
operated until the external LCD window exposure
counter (EX) reads out "1" or larger. Should the
shutter be accidentally released in this state, the
motor will merely continue to run idly for about
30 seconds without winding the film.
In this case, turn off the main switch, take out the
film holder once and cancel the multi-exposure
ring setting. Then, newly start the correct
procedure.
Set the C/S switch to S position when using the
multiple exposure.
M.E. = Multiple Exposures
Multiple exposure operational sequence:
1. Set the multi-exposure ring
2. Initial photographing of the subject
3. Reset the multi-exposure ring
4. Secondary photographing of desired subject.
By repeating the steps 3 and 4, multiple shots on a
single frame are possible. Exposure counter
indicator will remain stationary. To return to normal
shooting, just release the shutter without setting
the multi-exposure ring.
