A NEF (RAW) • NEF (RAW) image files contain the raw data output from the image sensor. They have the extension "*.nef". • Using Nikon's ViewNX-i or Capture NX-D software, you can adjust and re-adjust settings such as exposure compensation and white balance. Such adjustments can be performed as often as you please without degrading image quality, making this the ideal format for photos that will be processed in multiple different ways. ViewNX-i and Capture NX-D are available free-of-charge from the Nikon Download Center. • The process of converting NEF (RAW) images to other formats such as JPEG is referred to as "NEF (RAW) processing". You can save NEF (RAW) images in other formats using the ViewNX-i and Capture NX-D computer applications or the [NEF (RAW) processing] item in the camera retouch menu. A "NEF (RAW) + JPEG" • The camera displays only the JPEG copies of photos recorded at image quality settings of "NEF (RAW) + JPEG". If only one memory card was inserted in the camera when the photos were recorded, the NEF (RAW) copies can only be viewed using a computer. • In the case of photos recorded with only one memory card inserted, deleting the JPEG copies on the camera also deletes the NEF (RAW) images. • If [RAW primary - JPEG secondary] is selected for [Secondary slot function], the NEF (RAW) copies will be recorded to the card in the primary slot and the JPEG copies to the card in the secondary slot (0 258).
