AW les have the extension “*.nef”.
･ The process of converting RAW les to JPEG and other widely-supported
formats is referred to as “RAW processing”. A variety of settings can be
adjusted during this process, including exposure compensation, white
balance, and Picture Controls.
･ RAW processing has no eect on the original RAW data, meaning that it
can be repeated as often and using as many dierent combinations of
settings as desired while maintaining image quality.
･ RAW processing can be performed in-camera using the [RAW processing]
item in the retouch menu or on a computer using Nikon’s NX Studio
software. NX Studio is available free-of-charge from the Nikon Download
Center.
