- Colors and brightness in the preview may differ from the final picture.
- Only pictures created with this camera can be selected. Pictures created with other models cannot be selected.
- The overlay will be the same size as the smallest of the two component pictures.
- The overlay has the same photo info (including date of recording, metering, shutter speed, aperture, shooting mode, exposure compensation, focal length, and picture orientation) and values for white balance and Picture Control as the first of the two pictures selected. Copyright information, however, is not copied to the new picture. The comment is similarly not copied; instead, the comment currently active on the camera, if any, is appended.
