Tip: RA

W Processing

NEF (RAW) photos shot with HLG selected for tone mode can be converted to JPEG or HEIF using

the [Retouch] item in the playback i menu (RAW processing). During this process, Picture Controls

and settings such as exposure compensation and white balance can be freely adjusted. Note,

however, that the JPEG copies may exhibit more “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced bright

pixels, fog, or lines than do JPEG copies created from NEF (RAW) pictures taken with SDR selected

for tone mode.

NEF (RAW) photos can also be saved in other formats using Nikon’s NX Studio software. For more

information, see “Saving Pictures in Other Formats Using NX Studio” (
