R6 problem with multiple exposure and kit lens

[Samphireb]

It is impossible to use the multiple exposure function on the R6 with the kit (24-105) lens. Why promote a system that doesn't work? Has anyone found a work round?

I haven't tried it yet. What is it about the kit that makes it ineffective?

When I try to enable the function I get a message 'Not available with the attached lens'

Samphireb,

Is the 24-105 the f/4 L or the F4-7.1?

If the latter, you're not alone.

Here is an article with a list of lenses that do work:

Yes - it is the F4-7.1.
Thanks.

Just read the article. Its about focus bracketing which I found works well.
Its multiple exposure that's the problem.

Whoops, looks like I need to pay more attention.....

It was an interesting article ...

There is a thread on DP Review with others having the same problem:

And in looking around, I found someone with an RP body having the same issue with that lens.

Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update available?
