Multiple Exposure film?

Alright, so i have a Nikon N55 35mm camera that i've been playing with. I was just reading about the N55 doing multiple exposures? The sites were issues of the camera doing so but i love multiple exposure photography. If anyone has tips on how to do that purposely with the N55 it would be very much appreciated!

Added (1). I don't have the owners manual

Added (2). And i know what a multiple exposure is, i'm just needing answers on how to do it and if this amera even does it

You'd generally take two shots on the same frame, either deliberately under-exposed or on separate halves of the frame, with each exposed separately (a technique I used to do a double-exposure of me posing for myself - getting the join right between the two halves was a b*tch).

Look on pages 69 and 70 of your user manual

A multiple exposure is when you intentionally make 2 or more exposures on a single film frame. It requires exposure compensation which you can do by using the EV dial on the camera or by changing the ISO.

For 2 exposures on a single frame use -1 EV.

For 3 exposures on a single frame use -1.5 EV.

For 4 exposures on a single frame use -2 EV.
Unfortunately I don't have an example of a 4 exposure picture.

You can also do exposure compensation by multiplying the ISO of your film by the number of exposures you want to make on a single frame. Just don't forget to change the ISO back to its normal setting after you finish your multiple exposure project.

Unless you want more than 4 exposures on a single frame I suggest using the EV dial on the camera.
