Digital cameras forum: Multiple Exposure on Rebel XT DSLR?

exposure, your ability to do them is limited. The camera can be set to hold the shutter open for an extended period (30 seconds on my 20D), and exposures can be made while it is open. I have done this in a dark room by manually triggering a flash unit.

I suspect most people simply bring multiple images into Photoshop, and blend them via layers using masks, transparency, blending modes, etc.

Some digital cameras do allow multiple exposures, but I don't know if the Rebel is one of these.

burning, dodging, masks, etc. to make prints. Ansel Adams talked about how a negative was manipulated to make a print, and multiple negatives were used to bring the sky into a print.

That's what Photoshop does.

That could mean more than one thing.
Two things pop into my head.

1) Bracketing
2) Continuous shooting

If you mean #1 - look in the manual for "bracketing"
If you mean #2 - First try just switching the knob on the top left to "Sports" mode and just hold the shutter down. It that does not do it, check the manual.

If you do not have a manual, you can download one from the Canon website.

That does take me back to the days of film.

Sometimes it happened accidentally and sometimes on purpose.

I don't remember anyone ever mentioning Double Exposure with a digital camera.

Thanks for the time travel back to yesteryear.

And years later I've yet to see this "in the camera."
