you can insert an image into a frame set in a still image captured in the still image mode, an image saved after magnifying, or a copied image, and create a compound image consisting of an image within an image. this function can be used for simple image editing such as adding a picture of a face to a name card.
compound image creation process
1 display the image for the background
2 set the size of the image to be added
3 set the position of the image to added
4 capture the image to be inserted (press the shutter release button)
?1 the compound image is created.
?2 the original image for the background remains.
check the focus setting before creating the compound image
if the subject that you will shoot for the compound image is close (from 3 to 60 cm away), put the digital disk camera in the still image shooting mode and set the focus to either the macro focus mode or the total range focus mode (see page 72).

help
if "disk full" appears
this indicates that there is not enough empty space on the disk to save the compound image.
an amount of free space equal to the size of the background image is required. if you wish to save the image, you must first erase some data in order to free up some disk space (see page 149).
