can the DMR do multiples?

-double exposures and more?( 8 to 16 images on one image.)-like with film. thanks

Pardon my answering, because I don't have a DMR.

 

I may be wrong, but I don't think it can. Most dSLRs don't bother with that function because it's so easy to do in post-processing, i.e. with Photoshop or your tool of choice.

 

We used to have to do that in-camera because darkroom manipulation was harder than doing it in camera. Today it's the other way around.

Carolina, it can not.

 

Pascal, no problem. Use the lever one time until the end and everthing will be o.k.

You can switch of the automatic by using the lever a littel bit only

HC and Pascal- how unfortunate that it cannot do multiples. I find that doing multiples in camera takes only extra seconds in the field. And though technically possible for advanced users of photoshop- the difficulties with adjusting the blending modes and transparecies of each layer to achieve the weight you want it to have, would be tedious.Why be limited by your tools? Attached are examples of multiples-

MC-

I miss the point: If you are simply saying, "I'm doing 10 exposures, so each one gets 1/10 of 'correct' exposure," I would say you're giving in to a rule of thumb and missing the expanded abilities of Photoshop or such like.

 

Nonetheless, the work you show (very nice, by the way) indicates clearly that you and I work completely differently in that regard.

 

Nikon offers what you may be looking for. The D200, for example, can place up to ten exposures on a single frame. The camera automatically calculates exposure, and if you decide to end before the planned sequence is up, the camera back-calculates the proper exposure. A very sophisticed implementatiion of what is _to me_ an unimportant function.

 

I'm not castigating you for seeking the function--you're obviously not the only one, else Nikon wouldn't have implemented it. :)

 

You clearly use multi-exposure in a very artful way that some of us would be willing to recreate outside the camera.

 

I think a major difference between Leica and many other companies is that for Leica, the point is to produce good, accurate images without needing to wade in menus and settings; for many others, the point is to put as many features on a body as possible because there will doubtless be someone who wants one of them. It's the difference between a mass-production product and a product capable of higher-quality output over a more limited field. Just my opinion, understand!

lovely photos, I try and do similiar with my R8 when I have the optional film back on. It would be lovely to do this as the D200 does, it would require a large buffer or at the least many reads and writes to the SD card. The camera could quite easily accomplish this even after you have taken all 10-16-32 shots by reading each file, dividing down the light level and writing that to a new file name. Each subsequant frame adds to the light level in a pixel. But that can also be done back on teh PC.

I guess the reason doing this in camera would be that you can see the result in the field and reshoot to get it right.
