Turn On Multiple Exposure<\/h3>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

The first step will be the hardest for seasoned videographers. You\u2019ll first have to turn your Canon 5D over from video mode to photo mode. You can find this toggle on the ring outside your record start\/stop button on the back right of your camera. You\u2019ll also need to change the dial on the top left to the “P” mode.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re in photo mode, you can either look through your viewfinder or on the back display screen (click on the start\/stop button to switch between the two). To enter the creative picture controls controls, click the “Creative Photo” button on the top left. You\u2019ll recognize it by an icon that looks like a pen in a box. From this menu, you can change picture styles or enter multiple exposure or HDR mode. Scroll to the multiple exposure controls and press the set button.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Settings<\/h3>\n

If you scroll down one line, you can change the multiple exposure control methods marked “Multi-expos ctrl.” You\u2019ll see four options, detailed below (via Canon\u2019s Knowledge base<\/a>):<\/p>\n
