2. Using 'multiple exposure' mode.

The Coolpix 4500 provides a 'multiple exposure' setting as one of the scene modes. (Image 1) This feature is new to the Coolpix range and offers a further function where the user can take full advantage of their creativity.

When the first image is taken, it is then superimposed onto the LCD monitor, over the view through the lens, to aid in the composure of the next image. (Image 2)
Two successive exposures are combined to form a single image. The exposures are added together which means that, depending on the subject, overexposure may occur. If a bright object is in the same position for each shot taken, it will then be exposed twice causing 'overexposure'.
Exposure compensation may be required to ensure correct exposure is obtained; as a rule of thumb -1.0 EV should be set. Although when using digital cameras to create multiple exposures, images can be viewed and additional shots taken at different settings until a satisfactory result is produced.

Exposure compensation may not be required if the background is completely black and the subject is positioned in different areas of the frame in each of the two shots.
