NEF File Format
The Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) is Nikon’s proprietary graphic format, and
requires Nikon View 5 or Nikon Capture 3 (available separately) to be viewed.
NEF images can be saved and edited on a computer without any degradation
in quality.
RAW Images
RAW (NEF) images can only be viewed with Nikon View 5 and Capture 3 (avail-
able separately). To view RAW images with other applications, first convert the
RAW images into HI (TIFF) pictures using the Convert RAW to HI option in
full-screen review (
85). The converted image file will have a new name and
the .NEF extension will be changed to .TIF. The TIFF format is supported by
most graphics applications.
