Hmm… Okay, try this, go to Custom Setting #28 (Auto Meter Off) and set it for 30 minutes. That way, the Multiple Exposure will not deactivate itself when the meter turns itself off automatically and / or after 30 seconds of no activity. Or just do not turn off the camera at all.

Try doing a sequence of images, varying by two stops (+2.0EV, 0.0EV, and -2.0EV) without any hesitation.

I clickd done. I would set it to multi exps 3, ev to 1.0 shutr spd to 1″ hold button down till 3 snaps are taken. adjust shutr speed to 2″ ev to 0.0 multi exps to 3 again, hold till 3 shots are taken and repeat as you instructed changing ev to -1.0, -2.0, -3.0 with those 5 diff ev settings i got 5 diff images. each im assuming is compiled of the 3 snaps taken with multi exps. but in your video after the light blinks it seems like u get a final 6th photo. I dont seem to be getting that?

Well, I believe the D80 can only do up to three images multiple exposure. Seems like you didn’t click “Done” after setting up the Multiple Exposure. If you do not click Done, the camera will function normally, otherwise, the camera will capture three images altogether then blend them together.

No overlaying, it’s all done by Multiple Exposure alone in the camera.

hmm.. i don’t know why you went through all that. when you can do this with an option called bracketing?

The answer is simply this, with Active D-Lighting turned off, you will get more contrast but only with Capture NX2 when processing the RAW files. Not to mention, if Active D-Lighting is turned on while Multiple Exposure, it will result in more noise in the shadowed areas.

Liki, kindly educate me on this. Why do you need to turn off the ADL for HDR projects?

Multiple Exposure becomes disabled if: 1) you turn the camera off and / or 2) auto meter off delay is not disabled.

Try disabling the Auto Meter Off Delay (set it to No Limit or the longest delay available) and continue the procedure without turning the camera off.

The D90 will only take three images then it automatically blend all three shots together, becoming just one single JPEG / RAW file.

Keep your eye on the LCD right after the third shot, it will show up when it finishes processing.
