Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wburgman" data-source="post: 91210" data-attributes="member: 11698">I chose the multiple exposure feature because I could also set the amount of gain in the sequence (in my case -1 EV, 0 EV, +1 EV), just like I can with the Bracket button, the idea being that the multiple exposure feature would combine all three captures into one image, effectively making it an in-camera HDR (more on that later).  Using the bracketing feature with three separate images still forces me to combine them post capture in some software program, and I can't do that now because the D800 shoots a proprietary RAW file, which rendered my Lightroom and Photoshop versions useless, so I have no workable programs to merge.I would select the option of shooting in HDR but the D800 doesn't do so in RAW (understandably given the huge file size) so to go from my normal shooting mode (of RAW > CF and JPEG > SD) into the menu, turn off RAW capture, shoot the HDR, then reset my shooting menu again.  I should add that even if I'm taking the wrong approach to achieve a broader dynamic range (bracketing vs multiple exposure - I admit I'm not sure what the difference is except for what steps are required post capture) , the issue still remains that the D800 set to Multiple Exposure/Single Photo should take one multiple exposure and then reset to resume normal shooting.  My particular camera is not doing so.  If anyone else out there has a D800 please give it a whirl and let me know if you're having the same issues, it could just be my particular body.  Hope that makes sense.  To prevent missing more great shots, I'll probably have to bracket for now, and merge the images later once I save enough $ to upgrade Photoshop and laptop (the newer versions of Lightroom and PS are not compatable with my laptop.  God, this get$ expen$ive!)Thanks for the reply.</blockquote>
