Metering Multiple Exposures
The meter in your camera determines exposure (EV) based on the assumption that
only one exposure will be made on each frame. When making multiple exposures,
the EV for each additional exposure needs to be reduced or over exposure will
result.
• Compensation is not necessary if all of the exposures have dark backgrounds and the
subjects of the exposures will not overlap.
Compensate the exposures as follows:
Number of
Exposures
Exposure
Adjustment
• The above corrections are intended as a general guideline. Some
testing may be necessary to produce the desired results.
• Exposure can be compensated in 1/2 or 1/3 EV increments using the
exposure compensation function (p.51).
