Hi all
I use a Minolta X-500 and I want to try out double-exposures. Trouble is, I have no idea on how to do this. The film must be advanced fully before it will let me take another photo. Does anyone know how to override this feature – without having to wind backwards?
Thanks,
Will
Hi Will.
I don't think your camera has the ability to allow you to re-**** the shutter whilst not moving the film onto the next frame. Some bodies will allow this i.e. Pentax LX (I know for sure), Nikon F3 onwards etc... ![]()

Used to work a treat in my old Olympus OM40.
Couple of good 'calls' there Will - but frame 'registration' is the key issue. ![]()
Before you press the rewind release, tension the film slightly by turning the rewind knob back until you feel the resistance. Hold it in place while pressing the rewind button and **** the shutter with the wind on lever. This should prevent excess movement of the film.

This is how I always used to do it too. Works a treat.

Same here.
