Image Overlay
Image overlay combines two existing RAW photographs to create a single picture that is
saved separately from the originals. The new picture is saved at current image quality and
size settings; before creating an overlay, set image quality and size ( 30; all options are
available). To create a RAW image, choose an image quality of NEF (RAW).

multi selector right. The preview dialog shown at right will be
displayed with Image 1 highlighted.

tograph in the overlay. To view the highlighted photograph
full frame, press and hold the button.

view display. The selected image will appear as Image 1.
