Multiple Exposure

Expand your creativity by layering images

Multiple Exposure combines images in-camera, allowing you to layer light, color, patterns or different subjects into a single photograph.
With OM SYSTEM cameras, you can preview the overlap in Live View as you shoot, helping you work toward your intended composition and visual concept rather than leaving the result entirely to chance.

01

Create an ethereal floral image

A faint image of the first exposure remains visible, allowing you to check the composition while layering the second exposure. Overlaying an out-of-focus flower onto a sharply focused one creates a soft, dreamlike sense of depth.

02

Build on the dark areas

Because the next image tends to show through more readily in dark areas, Multiple Exposure works particularly well with subjects against dark backgrounds or with silhouettes.

03

Composite after shooting

You can overlay a second image onto a previously captured RAW file (Overlay).
This lets you explore new combinations you may not have noticed while shooting—and sometimes transform an existing image into something unexpected.
