Can this camera do multiple exposures of the same frame?

Damn, I really wanted a multiple exposure for the decision challenge. I could not find anyway to do it, but wanted to ask before I gave up. Thanks Justine.

There are a couple tutorials from the Learn drop down on the menu under How'd they do that? with methods of doing it like:

Use the bulb setting and a black card.

Great ideas, I am glad I asked. I am going to try both of these ideas. I am actually mad at myself for not thinking of the bulb setting and a black card, I actually did a study like that once with a different camera. Thanks

And what do you do with the black card? Can you give a bit more detail pretty please?

I thought multiple exposures were not allowed for basic editing?

This is not really a multi expo. It's a trick that works in a similar way but is a lot harder to pull off.

Set your camera for "bulb" exposure (or on a P&S, the longest exposure possible).

Trigger the shutter for the first exposure.
Cover the lens with a black cloth/card.
Setup the second half of the picture.
Remove the black cloth/card.
Finish the exposure (or end the bulb shutter).

If you have 8 seconds, you can't do much. If you have bulb mode on a DSLR like the DRebel, you could take half of a picture, setup for 20 minutes, then take the second half of the image.

Long exposure, fired the flash for the first part, used a red light to get the blurred second part.

Thanks mavrik. Very kool.
I could do that with my old Olympus but have never tried it with the Rebel.
Humm.

I always thought if the effect was done with the exposure then it was not edited at all and that is ok.
