Handheld night scenes - how to replicate settings on R6 (Mark I)

CLAOLS — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:03:49 GMT

I recently updated from 6D to R6. At the 6D i liked to use the 'SCN' features from time to time. This is not an option on R6. Could anyone guide me how to replicate the settings from ' Handheld Nigth scenes' where 4 pictures are splined into one. ?

You have to use external software.

For example, Photoshop. I doubt that it is worth the hassle.

But the R6 also has the option to 'multiple exposures' I just haven't succeded in finding the right combination for night photos?

Totally different. Multiple Exposures on the R6 is intended for shots like putting a moon in an empty sky, more of a compositing function.

Handheld night scene would take the 4 images, register them so that they overlayed perfectly and then averaged them to reduce noise.

OK thanks, must rely on that the R6 are better in low light conditions generally so that I dont need the 'SCN' feature

Saw that the R6 mrk II also has the 'SCN' features
