A7III double exposure

ivophotos — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 08:37:39 GMT

Why is there no multiple/double exposure feature on the Sony A7iii? Fuji, Nikon and Canon can do it. Please add this as a firmware update. I'm considering leaving Sony due to lack of multiple exposure support 😞

PLEASE make this a firmware available update. I purchased the a7iii a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. This camera is the first Sony product I have used after a professional lifetime of Canon equipment. The a7iii excels in so many different areas, especially for me primarily as a videographer who also likes to play around and get creative with photography. The lowlight abilities of this camera for video is incredible, as is the auto-focus. However, the lack of multiple exposures is severely limiting one of my creative outlets. Granted, I can still utilize Photoshop and do these things in post-production, but many cameras today contain this ability in-camera. The a7iii is already strong in so many differenta areas, if your team were able to add multiple exposure to this as well, it would drastically increase its value even further. Thank you for taking the time to read this and consider this change, and thanks for everything else your team did to make the a7iii a truly amazing camera overall.

Hi,

Has this feature been added? because i too would like to experiment with double exposure photography but don't want the hassle of photoshop when i'm on the go. I was thinking of selling my 5d to jump onto sony but now i'm having second thoughts.

Kind Regards,

Dee

I have had a Sony A7ii since laucnh and absolutely love it. I want to update to the A7iii, but the thing which is putting me off is the lack of support for Multiple exposures. Even the Playmemories app in my current camera is lacking as it only allows 2 exposures compared to Canon which allows up to 9.

Photography is becoming more and more about creative expression and this functionality is now essential.

Sony - you are market leaders in so many ways, but you are lagging behind in this respect.
When will this be sorted?????

Sony will not add double exposure in the following updates. You can use Photoshop for this.

I know I can do it in post-production, but that lacks the immediacy and creativity of doing it in camera.

This is a serious oversight by Sony.

I would really like to see multiple exposure in a firmware! All other cameras can do this!!

Me too. As soon as Canon fixes their 24-240 lens, I'm changing to their new EOS R. Sony took away the apps that allowed me to be more artistic in my photography choices. Nikon, Canon and Fuji have all recognized that there is a large enough segment of the population that wants in-camera merge that they have responded to it.

Sad. Sony led the way in mirrorless tech but they aren't paying attention to the consumer trends. People who want full frame cameras are a shrinking audience. You'd think they would want to include the artistic segment who still want and need the full cameras. They are positioning themselves to lose business in their DSLR category. It's a wonderful product but it's lacking.

It's such a shame as I love my Sony and have always fought their corner agains the Nikon/Canon brigade, but you are right, they are seriously missing a trick here and are going to lose their market lead.
I really don't undertsand why they don't incorporate ME in their offering .... would anyone from Sony like to comment??

Re: A7III double exposure

I'd like to hear from Sony too. I have two friends who have purchased the
Canon EOS R. They sold their Sony A7iii and A7Riii on eBay. Not good for
Sony and those are two people I know. They can't be the only ones.

We need a firmware update NOW.

There are other cameras do this - but then you pay for slower autofocus. I personally haven't seen this successful in Canon. And with a higher fps - you wouldn't necessarily need it...

Don't expect Sony to follow the crowd. They are causing the stir in the industry...

I am moving from Canon to sony…. just saving up for the lens changes....

It seems like Sony are determined not to listen. They clearly don't value creative photographers. Such a shame, I really don't want to change systems but it looks like I may have no choice

Will Sony be adding a firmware update for double exposure in the Sony A7iii. I'm really thinking about transferring over to Nikon or Fuji if this doesn't happen. I know you can do it in Photoshop but I would love to be do it in camera.

Re: A7III double exposure

CPR_50 — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 01:46:38 GMT

When will Sony add double exposure to the A7RIII. Photoshop will not do this as well as in camera plus the time it takes. Sony needs to get up to speed on this issue. Any news on their intentions?

Re: A7III double exposure

rboverton — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 01:51:38 GMT

I sold all my Sony and switched to Canon. Haven't looked back -so creative
and fun.
