Evening and Welcome to the Forum,
Could you tell us a bit more about what you were doing (what type of night scene) and your camera/lens? I am guessing that you are using the Kr or Kx with probably the kit lens?
Just because you put the camera in to night scene mode, magic does not automatically occur each and every time. The night scene mode does help, however it is also dependent on a lot of other things (the amount of available light, the amount of time the shutter is open, etc.).
I am going to assume a couple of things.
- Outside at night?
- Some sort of dim lighting source?
- You are hand holding the camera?
If this is somewhat right - its a recipe for a disaster - essentially just what you wound up with. The night scene will make some adjustments to your camera body, however it will not work miracles.
For something like this to work - you are going to have to 1) leave the shutter open for a long time (1, 5, 10, or 30 seconds perhaps), and while its open collecting light, the camera needs to be very stable (tripod, sitting on a block wall, or something solid). You also need to be able to push the shutter and hold it down without moving the camera.
I am guessing your blurry shot was from some camera movement, and the double exposure was probably you made a large movement while the shutter was open.
If you posted the photo here and gave some additional information (what you were doing), folks would then be able to help you..... Also, there is a program called photome (free) available at
PhotoME - Exif, IPTC & ICC Metadata Editor that would easily show you the information the camera recorded along with the image. We need the shutter speed, ISO, aperture (f stop), lens would help a bit, and your camera model.
Here are some sites that can help....
