shahriar Posted February 8 Share #1 Posted February 8 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone, I am a new member, with cerebral palsy, and my hand and leg don't work so I am writing this with voice. I apologize for any errors with spelling, and grammar. I just got a Leica m11-p, and I was wondering if it does double/multiple exposure on the same frame. I did a Google search, and it said that the m11-p is capable of doing double exposure. Because I have to rely on someone else to help me go through the menu, I am limited on time to go through every title of the menu to find out if it is able to do it. I am wondering if anyone in this form knows anything about that? Or would be willing to check it out on their own Leica m11-p to see if it has multiple exposure capability? If yes, where is it located in the menu? Looking forward to hearing from all of the members like doing multiple exposure in camera. Many thanks in advance! shahriar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted February 8 Share #2 Posted February 8 Much easier and more control if you use Photoshop and Photomerge or any of the merging apps on the market. https://etechshout.com/photo-merge-apps/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #3 Posted February 8 I have done multiple exposure with digital camera, and with Photoshop. It is much faster with camera, and colors are usually better when done in camera at least for my taste. But thank you for your reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 8 Share #4 Posted February 8 Are you sure that you are not talking about film? On a digital camera you can only merge consecutive images. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes use a Nikon D3X, and have used the multiple exposure feature oftentimes (as I used to with slide film on the FE, FM2 and F3). It works quite well. This use case is not covered by the Leica M. You can't do it with a film M, nor with the digital one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 8 Share #6 Posted February 8 Quite possible with a film M Just move the R lever, hold the rewind crank having tensioned it and operate the advance lever. Don’t forget to reposition the R lever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 8 Share #7 Posted February 8 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have no experience with the M11-P but i have never heard of muliple exposures with the M11, if not in overview mode. See excerpt of M11 manual, page 134 below. LeicaM11_manual_134_mult.pdf 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #8 Posted February 8 First, thank you for your reply. I have for Nikon body's and they all do multiple exposure just like film. The main reason I put up this post is, I was under the impression that m11-p does not do multiple exposures, but then I saw on Google that there might be a firmware update, and then last week I went on Google type the same question, and it said m11-p is capable of doing multiple exposure. Then I looked for it, and couldn't find it so I thought I put a post here and see if anybody else can find it, or Google is wrong? Again thank you, Shahriar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 8 Share #9 Posted February 8 According to this reviewer, « what i really wonder is why Leica hasn’t given the Leica M11 a multiple exposure mode ». Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thank you, Shahriar The multiple exposure is possible even before the firmware upgrade you are referring to, like for landscape purposes for instance? Taking different exposure metering, say, -1, 0 and +1 not like juxtaposure or 2 different images blended in one like the nikon, but i might be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple Exposure is a different capability, which has never been included in any digital M. The PDF excerpt that lct posted is referring to playback display of multiple thumbnails and unrelated to the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpark114 Posted February 8 Share #12 Posted February 8 What are we talking about in this topic? I'm confused now. 1. Exposure bracketing? as described by @jakontil? Taking series of shots automatically with different exposure compensation with one shutter click? 2. Multiple exposure? as in film days, taking multiple shots without advancing film resulting in different shots juxtaposed with each other in the same film frame? As for #2, I don't know if any digital camera can do this, and I'm curious to find out the result if I've been missing all these digital years.

shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #14 Posted February 8 Their all different things. I am talking about double exposure/multiple exposure on the same frame, and there more than one digital camera that can do it. I don't know why Leica did not include it in their cameras. Nikon d3, d3x, d800, d810 , d850, d780, and so on Thank you, Shaheriar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted February 8 Share #15 Posted February 8 (edited) The Canon R5 mk1 and Mk2 (and probably many others) can do the same, they basically do the photoshopping inside the camera. I haven't experimented with it since my film days however although our local photography exhibition suggests it may be undergoing a resurgence!

I will be interested to research and find out how a Nikon can take multiple digital images on the same frame. Does anyone have answer? It's easily done. Not just with Nikon, my Canon 1DX/1DX2 bodies from 12+ years ago have this capability. With Canon, you could choose exactly how the exposures were calculated and the averaging method that determined both the look and exposure value of the final image. I'm guessing many current mirrorless camera systems have the capability as well. Sony used to offer a multiple exp/frame averaging capability through the play memories app, but that faded away quite a while ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #17 Posted February 8 Thank you for your reply. I know canon cameras do it. I don't know why Leica does not include it in their cameras. I hope there will be a firmware update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #18 Posted February 8 I know Canon, and Nikon cameras have it. I wish Leica would do that to because they have beautiful colors. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J S H Posted February 8 Share #19 Posted February 8 I'll save you the suspense - it's a certain bet that there won't be a firmware update enabling this feature for digital M cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahriar Posted February 8 Author Share #20 Posted February 8 I agree, because if they ever do it, they probably ad it to a new model so if anybody wants to do it, they have to buy their new camera :-). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
