Double exposure ... on a digital!

[Paul mabbott]

Can anyone think of a way that a double exposure could occur using a digital camera. We have a picture taken some years back (I'd upload it but it isn't wildlife) which is clearly two superimposed pictures (of the inside and outside of Beziers cathedral). I said at the time, "this can't happen"... but every now and then I look at it and think, "How does this come about?". Has anyone else had this experience or have any suggestions?

Hi

the only way I can think of is if the camera has a double exposure setting in the menu and somehow you accidentally set it ?

I hadn't considered that possibility. This was just a very elementary Kodak - do they have such facilities? We still have the camera laying around somewhere, if I can wake it up I may run through its menus ...
Thanks for the thought.

Nothing to stop you uploading it Paul. That's what the Forum Gallery is there for, any image not wildlife related.

As for the actual image, it sounds very unusual. I've never heard of this happening with a digital camera. Very weird!

Okay


After all these years, I've just noticed something else dead central which might be related to a camera menu/instruction icon?

I should say that this/these were taken by my son (the mathematician one) but that it was downloaded in sequence with a lot of others - any manipulation (accidental or otherwise) would have occurred on the camera, not subsequently.

I think it actually makes quite an interesting picture! Better than the original - a rather blood-soaked and boring place as I remember

that looks weird. I like it too.

I would just put it down to an electronic "hiccup" with the camera while writing the image/s to the memory card. I vaguely recall reading about something similar on a camera forum and it was suggested that it was either an error in the memory card or the way the camera saved the files.Nice effect though
