When you use the "minus" or "plus" it does not change the ISO. In A mode it changes the shutter speed. To take these photos, it is a bracketing situation. Focus on one plane, shoot, then adjust the plane so it covers from front to back (or reverse if you choose) all you want in focus. I usually use f 4 or f 5.6 so the background maintains a pleasant blur, yet have sufficient DOF to fill in the distance between exposures. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I win. Then I use Lightroom to make adjustments and then CS5 to blend them. The Nikon cameras do have onboard multiple exposure capabilities, but so far there is a bug in Lightroom and Photoshop that renders the image highly magenta, so for me right now it is useless. Adobe says it will be fixed next version. A friend with his D200 takes some interesting double exposures. Canon does not offer this.
