Double exposures on D810

[JohnBrew]

The last two times I went out I came back with two or more double exposures. How is this even possible?
I attach an example.

I have not looked yet, but seem to recall this is one of the jpeg creative options. You should have two independent raw files for those images.

Thanks, Jack. I'll have a look through the menu's. This would be strange, especially since I've never intentionally shot a JPEG.

Okay, I just ran through the menu's and didn't find anything out of order. However, I have been playing around with the multishot mode a bit and perhaps something is going on after I re-orient the camera from horizontal to vertical? Pretty weird.

Here's another I actually like: straight out of camera, only resized jpeg.

Hi Jack and anyone else following this thread, I think I figured out what is happening. When you turn on the multishot function in the menu and you have the dial set on single shot the multishot stays in that mode and continues the number of shots you have dialed in which would explain the double and triple images. For some reason I believed that you had to turn the dial to continuous for the multishot function to work. So I think you have to assign the multishot to a separate button or turn it off.
This is probably covered in the manual which I have still never bothered to read.

Yes that's it -- but note it only blends the JPEGS, and not the raws

Jack, I didn't know it is a JPEG. So if it's a JPEG, why does it open in ACR?

If this should be posted under pp, please feel free to move it.

You can open JPEGs and TIFFs in ACR (at least you can if you right-click on the image in Bridge). I do it quite often with film scans, especially ones from a lab, or I tweak JPEGs created alongside the RAW if I like the look of the colour in the JPEG.

 

[Jack]

ACR will also open jpegs if you've set it in preferences.

If they add some random light leaks, discoloration and flare we can have the world's most expensive Lomo! :ROTFL:

What is a multi-shot in D810? What/where are JPEG creative options on D810?

Nikon D850/D810 has the multiple-exposure option, an important creative tool, IMO. The resulting image is a RAW or JPG. New to D850 is the option to keep the original exposures as well. Annoyingly, multiple exposure is not possible with Live View.

Some very interesting images have been accidentally created by forgetting to turn multiple exposure off .

My bad. Of course I meant multi-exposure.
