Fujifilm introduced a flexible multiple exposure feature with the X-Pro3. This allows you to shoot and combine up to nine images using one of four merging styles, Additive, Average, Bright and Dark.
In Additive mode the image brightness increases with each successive exposure whereas with Average, the camera produces a balanced exposure. In Bright mode, after the first shot is captured, only the brighter areas in successive images are recorded. Conversely in Dark mode, darker areas overlay the first image.
Helpfully, you can see the first image and the result of adding successive images on the screen or in the viewfinder as you shoot. This means you can align objects within your images and assess the impact of different scenes.
We’re hoping that Fujifilm will roll out this improved Multiple Exposure feature to other cameras like the X-T3 and X-T30 with a firmware update. The company has a history of adding new features to existing cameras, but we haven’t had confirmation yet.
