DImage Overlay
Only NEF (RAW ) photographs with the same image area and bit depth 
can be combined.
The overlay has the same photo info (including date of recording, 
metering, shutter speed, aperture, exposure mode, exposure 
compensation, focal length, and image orientation) and values for 
white balance and Picture Control as the photograph selected for 
Image 1 .
 The current image comment is appended to the overlay 
when it is saved; copyright information, however, is not copied. Overlays saved in NEF (RAW ) format use the compression selected for 
NEF (RAW) compression  in the NEF (RAW) recording  menu and have
