Bracketing and multi-exposures are two different things. You activate multi-exposure by going into the first menu and scrolling down a bit. You can then select the number of exposures you want, and activate (or not) auto-exposure. Then you take the said number of shots, and the camera will merge them all in one single picture. You NEED to use a tripod or the shots will be useless. If you set the camera to the longest possible exposure you can get (closing the aperture, low ISO, etc) and merge the max number of shots (9) you will get something akin to a single long exposure. Here is an example:
It's not the best example, but it's the only one I have on hand.
Isn't it great to discover new features to your camera?
