nikon zf raw support

The free Adobe DNG Converter 16.1 can convert this Zf camera raw image to DNG which is readily supported in Finder icon view, Quick Look, Preview, and other applications.

The RAW image (.NEF) can also be viewed using the free XnView MP v1.6.4 tool.

Monterey has no Nikon zf support, and Apple does not make camera raw support retroactive to older operating systems. Thus, you will need to use whatever third-party tool that can display the zf RAW images and that meets your needs for previewing these images where they are not supported.

You'd think as many times as I've recommended XnView I would have mentioned it. 🤔

Speaking of XnViewMP, I find it interesting it seems to support every camera's RAW files I've ever thrown at it. Including Nikon Zf files running on Monterey. 😎

There's no way to know when/if Apple will support Zf RAW files.

It's an app. VikingOSX posted the link above.

Just starting my second cup of dark roast. You? ☕️

First.

Maybe they built XnView MP to automatically extract and show the JPG image from the RAW content, preserving the metadata in the process… Didn't you suggest this in another previous post?

I believe someone did. Wasn't me. :)

I imagine Apple could do something similar if they choose to, rather than waiting for RAW support updates, as could other vendors.
