Selecting Photographs for Image Overlay
Only RAW photographs taken with the D2X 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 fi le name settings
under a fi le name assigned by adding one to the largest fi le 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.
