Technical Notes
The following Nikon software can be used with the camera:
●
Computer Software
•
Camera Control Pro 2 (available for purchase): Control the camera
remotely from a computer and save photographs directly to the
computer hard disk. If [PC] is selected as the destination in Camera
Control Pro 2, a PC connection indicator (
c
) will be displayed in the
camera control panel if Camera Control Pro 2 is launched while the
camera is connected to the computer.
•
NX Tether: Use for tethered photography when the camera is
connected to a computer. Exposure, white balance, and other camera
settings can be adjusted remotely using controls in the computer
display.
•
NX Studio
*
: View and edit photos and videos shot with Nikon digital
cameras. NX Studio can be used to fine-tune files in Nikon’s unique NEF/
NRW (RAW) format and convert them to JPEG or TIFF (NEF/RAW
processing). It supports not only NEF/NRW (RAW) pictures but also JPEG
and TIFF photos shot with Nikon digital cameras for such tasks as
editing tone curves and enhancing brightness and contrast.
* Existing users should be sure to download the latest version, as earlier
versions may be unable to download pictures from the camera or open
NEF (RAW) pictures.
