How Do I Set Continuous Shooting on My Canon 70d

Shooting Multiple Exposures (EOS 70D)

ID : 8201844300 _ EN _ 2

Solution

With this camera, you can shoot multiple images (2 to 9) to be merged into a single image. This method of shooting is called multiple exposure shooting.

If you shoot multiple-exposure images with Live View shooting, you can see how the exposures merge while shooting. For information on shooting with Live View, please see the Related Information.

NOTE

IMPORTANT

• If you set white balance bracketing, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, the HDR mode or if you shoot a movie, multiple exposure shooting cannot be set.
• When Wi-Fi function is used, multiple exposure shooting cannot be set.
• If you connect the camera to a computer or printer, multiple-exposure shooting is not possible.

Types of Multiple Exposure Control (How Images are Merged)

Item	Description
Additive	The exposure of each single exposure is added cumulatively. Based on the [No. of exposures], set a negative exposure compensation. Refer to the basic guide below to set a negative exposure compensation. Exposure Compensation Setting Guide for Multiple Exposures Two exposures: -1 stop, three exposures: -1.5 stop, four exposures: -2 stops
Average	Based on the [No. of exposures], negative exposure compensation is set automatically as you shoot multiple exposures. If you shoot multiple exposures of the same scene, the exposure of the subjects background will be automatically controlled to obtain a standard exposure.

REFERENCE

If [Additive] is set, the image displayed during shooting may look noisy.

However, when you finish shooting the set number of exposures, noise reduction will be applied and the final multiple-exposure image will look less noisy.

Shooting Multiple Exposures

1. Set the cameras power switch to <ON>.

2. Press the <MENU> button to display the menu.

3. Under the [ ] tab, select [Multiple exposure], then press < >.

4. The multiple exposure setting screen will appear.

5. Set [Multiple exposure].

• Select [Enable], then press < >.
• To exit shooting multiple exposures, select [Disable].

6. Set [Multi-expos ctrl].

• Select the desired multiple-exposure control method, then press < >.

7. Set the [No. of exposures].

8. Set [Continue Mult-exp].

• Select either [1 shot only] or [Continuously], then press <

>.

• With [1 shot only], multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled automatically after the shooting ends.
• With [Continuously], multiple-exposure shooting continues until the setting in step 5 is set to [Disable].

9. Take the first exposure.

The captured image will be displayed.

- The <> icon will blink.

• The number of remaining exposures is displayed in brackets [ ] in the viewfinder or on the screen.
• Pressing the <> button enables you to view the captured image.

10. Shoot subsequent exposures.

Captured images will be displayed overlaid on previous images.

• With Live View shooting, the multiple-exposure images merged so far will be displayed. By pressing the <INFO.> button, you can display only the Live View image.
• After you shoot the set number of exposures, multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled. With continuous shooting, after you finish shooting the set number of exposures while holding down the shutter button, the shooting will stop.

REFERENCE

• During continuous shooting, the continuous shooting speed will decrease greatly.
• During multiple-exposure shooting, Auto Lighting Optimizer, highlight tone priority, peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction will be disabled.
• The image-recording quality, ISO speed, Picture Style, high ISO speed noise reduction and color space, etc. set for the first single exposure will also be set for the subsequent exposures.
• If the Picture Style is [Auto], the [Standard] Picture Style will be set for shooting.
• Only the merged multiple-exposure image will be saved. The images taken in steps 9 and 10 for the multiple-exposure image will not be saved.
• With multiple exposures, the more exposures there are, the more noticeable the noise, irregular colors, and banding will be. Also, as noise increases with higher ISO speeds, shooting at low ISO speeds is recommended.
• If [Additive] is set, the image processing after taking the multiple exposures will take time. (The access lamp will light up for longer than usual.)
• If you perform Live View shooting while [Additive] is set, the Live View function will stop automatically when the multiple-exposure shooting ends.
• In step 10, the brightness and noise of the multiple-exposure image displayed during Live View shooting will be different from the final multiple-exposure image recorded.

If the power switch is set to <OFF>, the battery is replaced, or if you switch to movie shooting after you set multiple exposure settings, multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled.

• If you switch the shooting mode to a Basic Zone mode or <C> while shooting, multiple-exposure shooting will end.
• When multiple exposure is set or while you shoot multiple exposures, you cannot use the functions grayed out in the camera menu.
• You can press the <> button to view the multiple exposures taken so far or delete the last single exposure.

Checking and Deleting Multiple Exposures During Shooting

Before you finish shooting the set number of exposures, you can press the <> button to view the merged multiple-exposure image so far. You can check how it looks and the exposure.

If you press the <> button, the operations possible during multiple exposure shooting will be displayed.
