Notes

Be sure to read the following notes:

1. The NEF Codec

   The effects of the NEF Codec are not reflected when NEF images are displayed in Microsoft Photos.

   Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer, and other applications that use the Nikon NEF Codec to display pictures will show the previews embedded in the NEF (RAW) files.

2. “Camera Model” and “Camera Manufacturer”

   Do not change the “Camera model” and “Camera Manufacturer” fields in the “Details” tab of the NEF file properties. Operation of Nikon applications and the NEF Codec is not guaranteed if these fields are changed.

3. Rotating NEF Images

   NEF images cannot be rotated in the Explorer, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer, or Windows Live Photo Gallery.

4. NEF (RAW) Thumbnails

   Thumbnails for NEF (RAW) files may not display correctly in the Explorer, Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Photo Viewer. If this occurs, use Disk Cleanup as described below.

   1) Right-click the system disk in Computer and select Properties. 2) Select Disk Cleanup in the General tab. 3) Under Files to delete in Disk Cleanup, check Thumbnails and uncheck all other options. 4) Select OK to start disk cleanup; when a confirmation message “Are you sure you want to permanently delete these files?” is displayed, select Delete Files.

5. Capture NX 2 Version 2.3.0 or Later

   If NEF images saved in Capture NX 2 version 2.3.0 or later are opened in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, or Windows Photo Viewer:

   • A message may be displayed stating that the file is corrupt and cannot be opened • Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, or Windows Photo Viewer may not function normally after the file is opened

Checking the Current Version

1. Right-click an NEF (RAW) image in desktop mode and select Open with program > Windows Photo Viewer.
2. Confirm that this image is displayed.

Uninstalling the Codec

1. Select Settings > System.
2. Select Apps & features.
3. Select NEF Codec and click or tap Uninstall to launch the uninstaller.
