The histogram will be updated to show data only for the portion of the
image displayed in the monitor. While the image is zoomed in, press
the L (A) button to toggle back and forth between color balance
and zoom. When zoom is selected, you can zoom in and out with the
X and W buttons and scroll the image with the multi selector.

Image Overlay

Image overlay combines two existing NEF (RAW) photographs to create a single
picture that is saved separately from the originals; the results, which make use of RAW
data from the camera image sensor, are noticeably better than overlays created in an
imaging application. The new picture is saved at current image quality and size
settings; before creating an overlay, set image quality and size (0 47, 49; all options
are available). To create an NEF (RAW) copy, choose an image quality of NEF (RAW).
