NEF images: Frequently Asked Questions

What are NEF files?

NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is a proprietary digital photo format developed by Nikon. It is a 12-bit or 14-bit lossless compressed format that captures every detail and color in an image without any loss of data. This makes NEF RAW files incredibly versatile, with the ability to be edited with great flexibility, as you can make changes to exposure, white balance, color, and other editing decisions without degrading the image quality. The format is compatible with most Nikon cameras, and it retains all the information from the camera's sensor, making it ideal for professional and advanced photographers who require greater flexibility and control over their images. NEF RAW files can also be processed in software applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Capture NX-D, which support editing without loss of image quality.
