Finally a video that explains this feature clearly! Thankyou so much

With a double exposure, I've placed a river in the middle of a street to make it look like Venice.

@paulmarbach6447 6 days ago

I have a Nikon Z9 and I've been looking for a good tutorial on this subject and for understanding how to use this feature, this is by far the best video. Thanks!

Woman sat on rotating piano stool, facing camera left, head tilted down, sidelit with blue filter on flash. Scowled. She looked depressed. 120 film and RB67. Studio quite dark. Opened shutter and pressed open flash button on flash unit,. Flash went off and she spun with blur to opposite diection, lifted head toward unfiltered side lit flash. Smiled, looking undepressed.Experimented with Polaroid back on the RB67. Ran as cover on Arthritis Society magazine. ~~-BAK-~~

I am going through the menu on my R5 mark II to learn things I didn’t know. This helped a lot. Thank you

Thanks so much for answering this David. You are awesome! I combined a photo of my dog's silhouette with a second photo of a pile of doggy treats in Bright mode; so cool!

@theofanislantzakis9869 1 year ago

Thank you David Bergman. This is a very comprehensive video in multiple exposure. I recommend this to anyone passing through.

@photoquent 1 year ago

I used to do this a lot in the days I shot with film and did not think that this was possible in camera with digital cameras. This video was not all what I was expecting so added to my things to try!

@jackpine1033 3 months ago

I just tried the MULTI SETTING! COOL! This is gonna be FUN!

@Kiwi0Six 1 year ago

I used to play with it quite a bit back in my youth with a film camera. This video is great! It’s made me think about going back to multiple exposures in camera. I will be playing with it soon!

@TheBurtonsAreHere 1 year ago

I tried it but couldn't figure out what was what or best for what. As always David you are the man and I thank you ! Can't wait to be in your shoes one day

@philiprosoff5930 1 year ago

Thanks for doing this! I also used to do multiple exposures with film (both by accident and on purpose!) but never digitally. I just tried it out and it’s extremely cool. Thanks again!

@n22pdf 1 year ago

Excellent explanation and examples many thanks 😊 Pete

@paraveterinary 1 year ago

Thank you for the Video!

Yes, I tried it for the first time this morning and it is so much fun! I made several now. It makes you look at things in a totally different way. Love it!!
