Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / March 2005Maxxum 7D Double Exposures
Can you take double exposures with the Minolta Maxxum 7D? I looked through the manual and online, but can;t find any reference to it. If the camera doesn't do it, can it be done in photoshop? Joe > Can you take double exposures with the Minolta Maxxum 7D? > > I looked through the manual and online, but can;t find any reference > to it. I don't think it has it, and quick review of the manual (I don't have the camera) doesn't mention it. (Is there a "ME" position on the right hand lower dial ... that would be it). One way would be, in a darkened setting, dark background, to shoot bulb with the RC cable (locked open) and flash exposure (incident metered). While setting up between two shots, the viewfinder will be dark however, making it quite difficult to frame and focus. Not easy. The PShop route will be easier. I don't know if other digitals can to proper mutiple exposures. > If the camera doesn't do it, can it be done in photoshop? Yes. Use of a dark background in shots still helps, put your images in layers and then adjust as needed.

Oh well, I guess it's time I learned something about Photoshop anyways. Joe > I don't know if other digitals can to proper mutiple exposures. D2x can. No, I have absolutely no idea why. :-) Andrew. >>I don't know if other digitals can to proper mutiple exposures. > > D2x can. No, I have absolutely no idea why. :-) Why not? Just another position on the "film transport" control dial. Last time I double exposed was about 3 or years ago...

No, by why, I mean "what for", not "how". > Last time I double exposed was about 3 or years ago... Quite. Andrew. |
