Multiple Exposures with a Nikon F70/N70


I have a Nikon F70/N70 with a Tamron 28-200mm lens. I've been in a couple of situations where I would like to have been able to do double exposures but reading through the manual hasn't helped on how to do this. The camera always autowinds to the next frame after a shot and I can't find a way to wind it back one or stop it doing this.
I sent a request to Nikon for the info and got no response.
I'm really just an amateur at this, haven't even been game enough to get out of the auto modes and into full manual yet but I'm slowly building confidence!
Looking forward to your replies!!

  Multiple exposure is not built-in feature of the N70/F70, but I have read that there is a work-around solution.

(1) While holding the back firmly closed, slide the back latch down as though to open the back, take the first shot. Then release the latch button and take the second shot. The camera is fooled into not feeding the film when the latch is open. Make sure the back doesn't open.

  Jon,

Thanks for the fast reply and advice! Guess I can see why Nikon wouldn't want to tell me that in case I got upset when the back sprung open!

I have no excuse not to be experiementing with that one now I suppose...

Thanks again!
