Is it possible to obtain an 'in camera' double exposure using a digital camera? I know that it can be done in post processing. I know it was not that hard in film cameras.

This is a really good question. I have no idea what the answer is but I hope someone does. Good luck!

Because this is digital, unlike negative you cannot. Only in PP and likely with a better and more predictable result, sorry.

Depends on camera model. OMD EM1 has a multiple exposure setting, so you do more than just 2 :-)

Many digital cameras have double-exposure capability. I can't speak as to your's, but know my D5100 does. Also a fish-eye effect.

I think you can do whats called a overlay ? in some cameras or post processing programs .

Yup, I stand corrected, some cameras do allow this... Not sure how this works seeing some menus (I looked some cameras up)

I use a Nikon D7000, and that function is build into the menu. It's discussed on page 152 of the owners manual.

It may vary per camera. Try looking up in the index for the particular camera and model, "multiple exposure".
Be aware there is always more than one way to 'skin a cat' or accomplish a task. I just offered one, but if it doesn't get the job done, I have two more ways. :)

8-) 8-) 8-) both the Canon 1Dx and Canon 5D MkIII shoot multiple exposures. :lol: :lol: :lol:

As others have mentioned, some cameras have that specific function as a built-in option. Then the link provided above gave another "method" of a similar look using slow shutter speed.

I stumbled on another way, that is not as predictable, but might work for some things. With my SX50 I had it set for "in-camera HDR" and was hand=holding, taking a picture of a sunset. I was shooting across a highway and ended up with a 'blurred ghost' of a car in the final shot!
