Apparently, when you dial in the number of multiple exposures, the software compensates the actual exposure depending on the number dialed in.
Ken Waller -----Original Message----- From: William Kane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Multiple exposures with the *istD I believe that the way the *ist D handles multiple exposures is entirely different from film. We're all discussing how it should be calculating 1/2 the exposure for the first shot and the other 1/2 the exposure for the second shot . . . . . . what if the *ist D is a far more simple beast? What if when you tell it you are doing a 2 shot multi-exposure, it takes the next 2 pictures at full exposure (unless told to do otherwise) and then simply merges the two together? This seems far more likely given the apparent ability for the *ist D to get the exposures right all the time. Just a thought, though experience tells me I am not always right, IL Bill On Monday, May 24, 2004, at 10:30 AM, Kenneth Waller wrote: > Rob, > pg 84 step 3, in the manual, makes no mention of exposure compensation > for multiple exposures.
