Removing "Multi Exposure" mode

**csa** · 07-11-2021, 05:24 PM

On my Q, somehow I activated the multiple exposure mode, and I cannot remove it. It only goes down to 2 (images), in the menu. How can I get back to only one exposure?

On the capture menu page 2 is Multi-exposure. You can only drop it to a minimum of two photos, but you have to select the Start Shooting option at the top of the menu to actually activate it.

Regards

Yes, I went to "Multi Exposure"; but cannot see anyway to disable it! Now, each image results in 2, rather than 1. I simply want to disable the "multi exposure", but don't see how to do this.

I had to have hit some button when handling the Q, as I would never set multi exposure, on purpose.

right side of the "OK" button, press (Self-timer ) button,
chose "Single Frame " the first on the left

Wow! Thanks! I must have hit the "self timer" button accidently when handling the camera. Many thanks for saving me frustration!

Is that a fancy version of the original Q you have there? Not the common black nor the white, but some kind of silver/titanium finish variant. Nice!

Glad you got it sorted. Yet another example of 'design' by someone who does not use the equipment, or make the use of it intuitive.

Thank you for answering.
Even though I have had a Pentax camera for over six years now. I had never explored this command.
