a few questions for a nikon digital newbie

slowly working out how to get the camera set to suit me, i do have 2 questions, first is there is somthing in my settings that is preventing me shooting multiple exposures {not available at these settings}any thoughts?

...and secondly with ais zoom lenses can they be configured in the same way as an ais 50mm {for example}...specificaly an 80 to 200 f4?
cheers mark

Do you have the shooting mode dial set from "S" to either "CL" or "CH"? (Continuous Low or Continuous Hi)

Are you saying that Multiple Exposure is greyed-out in the Shooting menu? If so, you have another option enabled, such as HDR, that is causing that but I can't say for sure which one it is. You also need to be in Single Frame or Continuous Low or Continuous High on the Mode dial to do multiple exposure shooting.

Tryed it in Cl and ch...ill see if I've got HDR enabled and report back, thanks Paul and Charlie

ok ive turned of hdr adl and anything else i can think of, still get the greyed out menu {not available at curent setings orin the cameras curent state}
guess ill kepp fiddling around lol
