Just installed Big Sur on MacBook Pro 2017 based on the "Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur Apple Support page" in the hope to get Preview to display Nikon Z6 NEF raw images as it indicates but it does not. Also ios14 on iPad Pro image opens but is blurry.
Can anyone help as to why please?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1
Thanks dialabrain. I believe the raw format of Z6 and Z6ii are identical but I guess in the NEF raw file header from the z6ii it has for the camera named as Z6ii and not z6 so need to await Big Sur update to just recognise the camera name.
Not sure why your's is not working. I upgraded and it is working for me. Was a bit slow to get going, but now the z6ii NEF images are displayed in Finder preview and open in preview. Just a comment to check that you have the default set for NEF files to preview, that is check by clicking on NEF file, click "Get Info" and confirm/change "open with" for ALL.
Glad it is sorted, but just noticed whilst it displays in gallery mode in Finder I am not seeing the image in icon view, only the default icon, not the actual picture, tried resetting finding etc. but not. Are you?
FWIW, Nikon Z6 RAW files are supported. Nikon Z6 II RAW files are not.
You're welcome. You could be correct, they may be identical. I assume you know this but there are many apps that can open the Z6 II files.
Yes thanks dialabrain, was hoping to get "preview" to do it for work flow straight from the mounted camera card having spent several hours updating the Mac last night.
Just to mention, if you just need something to browse the files, XnView MP shows the previews and it's free.
thanks for the tip will look into it.
You're welcome.
In Mac OS 11.2 (02-02-2021 update) there should be a support for z6ii raw files BUT it does not work!!!
Why this?
Thx a lot. Now it’s working, I don’t know why.
The thumbnails don't work.
Yet.
