There may be some alternatives to camera maker's software to handle and process RAW file types.

Ideas could be in recent macOS; varies by incarnate version, of course. This can be useful 2+ ways.

Years ago one of my favs [with NK D90s + 3 NK zm & Lumix DMC-FZ1]

a freeware by name of ToyViewer (DL); also edits vid frame-by-frame.


Good luck & happy trails!
