In-Camera HDR Detailed Tutorial

This video shows you into depth how to create a photograph that has increased dynamic range—not overdone—using your camera's built-in feature of Multiple Exposure (note: not all cameras support this feature). This simple technique will give you more realistic humanlike results that Photomatix—or any turn-your-images-into-garage HDR software—cannot.

Music: Forest Flower by Chico Hamilton

Update: No, you cannot use Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) during the Multiple Exposure process. For some unexplainable reason, with AEB enabled, the Multiple Exposure feature will be grayed out (disabled).

Multiple Exposure supported camera models:
• D3-Series
• D2-Series
• D700
• D300(s)
• D200
• D7000
• D5100
• D90
• D80

Camera models that do not support Multiple Exposure:
• D1-Series
• D100
• D5000
• D3100
• D3000
• D70(s)
• D60
• D50
• D40(X)

Wouldn't there be a problem with slight camera movement, when touching the camera to change the 'EV' between shots? Has anyone had a problem with this? Is there a fully hands free way to do this? (Too bad you can't use auto bracketing with multiple exposures)

If you're using dirty cheap Chinese knockoff tripod and/or using a super telephoto lens (over 300mm) then, yeah, camera shake will be noticeable. Not so with a sturdy tripod combo and/or shorter lenses (under 300mm).

Not for us, we use this technique when needed with no problems.

Nikon Camera Control Pro can let you do multiple exposure and change the shutter speed without touching the camera. Only thing is that you need to lug a computer everywhere with you to do multiple exposure.

Leave the thumbs up and down statistics up... people want to know if it's reliable. I'm sure this is though.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Thumb up and down doesn't tell you if it's reliable. It's reliable, perhaps test and see for yourself?

Unfortunately, Multiple Exposure in D7000 can only take a maximum of 3 shots.

@artist6069 lol there's no "done" button but it's on the screen. you have to HIGHLIGHT "done" on the screen then press the "OK" button.

@Likiwiguy,

You have been a great help for a novice to learn photography.

I followed all the steps on my D 700as outlined by you. Unfortunately i am also unable to "blend" the images. I did press "OK" button but it does not work. Cant find "Done" button anywhere as mentioned by 'Superkiwizorro' below. Please help!

Thanks!

[superkiwizorro]

@tamim4ever yeah, it's normal for the BKT button to show nothing during multiple exposure process. you have to finish the process first or turn off multiple exposure in order to get the BKT button to function normally and show up on the top LCD panel again.

[tamim4ever]

when I turn the multi-exposure ON, bracketing will be disabled, I mean, I can't control it, when I press the button, nothing appears to me .. !!!!!! I'm using D7000 .. thanks ..
