Hi All, Can someone tell me how to take multiple exposure with the EOS Rebel 2000? Or if you can confirm that the camera is defected.

Instead of multiple exposure, the picture that came out 'multiple layer'?!

Thank you for your help!

What do you mean by "'multiple layer'?!"?

When the Rebel takes a multiple exposure picture it's supposed to stack one exposure on top of the other. It's your job to figure out what positions you want the bright & dark areas to be in and if you want them to be stacked on top of each other.

I supose I'm not following the question. Can you post a follow up response?

Jim, thank you for your respond.

I am afraid you were right about 'stacking up'. And that it is suppose to do that.

For the point & click camera, it would take the picture 'unexposed', and only exposure that 'partial exposure'. It would repeat this until the n-exposure is completed before advancing the film.

As for dealing with the true definition of multiple exposure, I need to deal with exposing certain light/dark area. If it is true, it is a much challenging task. If it is possible, can you tell me in details how you would approach tackling a double exposure. At every shot, record all setting.

Thanks you for your help!

One thing about multiple exposures--you often need to adjust the ISO setting so that the OVERALL exposure is correct (or use compensation). For example, for 2 exposures, change the ISO from 100 to 200 (or set -1 stop exposure compensation). For four exposures, change the ISO from 100 to 400 (or -2 stops exposure compensation), etc. BE CAREFUL to reset to correct ISO after taking multiple exposures (it's easy to forget until you have taken a few more shots). Good luck.
