Selecting Photographs for Image Overlay

Only RAW photographs taken with the D2Xs can be selected for image overlay. Other images are not displayed in the thumbnail list. The two originals must be the same size: if On is selected for Hi-speed crop, only RAW photographs taken with high- speed crop on will be displayed; if Off is selected, only RAW photographs taken with high-speed crop off will be displayed (41). Hidden images are not displayed and can not be selected.

Image Overlay

The new image is recorded at current image quality, image size, and file name settings under a file name assigned by adding one to the largest file number in the current folder. White balance, sharpening, color space, color mode, and hue settings are copied from the photograph selected for Image 1, as are the date of recording, me- tering, shutter speed, aperture, exposure mode, exposure compensation, focal length, orientation, and other photo information. Voice memos are not copied and must be recorded separately for the new image.
