When you are attempting a double/triple exposure using a dslr, do you have to adjust for exposure as you would with a film camera or does it digitally adjust in the dslr automatically.
I have not been on this site for quite awhile and it is good to be back

A question?
Then ask the question in the topic title!
That's what it's for.
We don't want the forum to look like this.

You can change it for up to an hour.
Check above your name to see the word "edit topic" or something similar.

Title it "multiple exposures" or something like that.
I'd be interested to see the answers myself, though you could use the search function.
That's where using an accurate topic title gets useful.
Cheers and welcome back!

Not intended to be critical at all, just helpful to the rest of us and future searches. .
I think the camera automatically compensates for however many exposures you are going to be using in your multi-exposure image.

You have a point there.
He did change it to a more helpful title.
I'm not going to fill in for JR1, believe me!

I don't mind questions being asked over again. Gives some of the new members a chance to jump in, sometimes with better answers than previously posted. I've noticed some new members with a great knowledge base lately.

I saw a youtube video on 'double exposure with a dsrl... it wasn't pretty.

What the guy was doing is shooting a high contrasted scene and guess where the highlight from his second exposure would fall when taking the second shot.

I am sure it is possible w/o being so... well... nuts?

In the old day we did that by masking our part of the lens and with a black or uniform background to avoid paying for a lab tech to do the leg work.

Now it is easier with post processing so I would guess double exposure from the camera are sort of a thing of the past.

In the end, it is possible, the real question is why would anyone wants to complicates his/her life doing so...

Samples of what is being done by talented folks...

Why mess about in-camera, when it's so easy to simulate it in post processing? Where you can fix/adjust darn near anything.

On the Canon 5DMK III, you can select different options for the in-camera multiple exposure.

Here is a screen of the manual page.

My Nikon D300 does the auto exposure compensation.(If I tell it to).

Yes, it seems that the Nikon DSLRs which do multiple exposures have the "Auto gain" option.
