Overlay (add)

Combine two existing photographs to create a single picture that is saved separately from the originals.

  1. Select [Retouch] in the i menu, then highlight [Overlay (add)] and press the multi selector right.
  2. Select the pictures.
    • Highlight pictures using the multi selector.
    • To view the highlighted picture zoomed in, hold the zoom control at +.
    • To select the highlighted picture, move the zoom control toward −. Selected pictures are marked with a check (). To remove the check () and deselect the current picture, move the zoom control toward − again.
    • Pictures with different image areas cannot be selected.
    • Press the center of the multi selector to proceed once the second picture is selected.
  3. Adjust balance.
    The overlay can be previewed in the display. Press the multi selector up or down to adjust the balance between the two pictures. Press the multi selector up to make the first picture more visible and the second less, and press the multi selector down for the opposite effect.
  4. Save the overlay.
    Press the center of the multi selector to save the overlay.

Cautions: [Overlay (add)]

  • Colors and brightness in the preview may differ from the final image.
  • Only pictures created with this camera can be selected. Pictures created with other models cannot be selected.
  • All pictures in the overlay must be the same size.
  • 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.
