What is a NEF file?

As an exclusive Nikon format, NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) contains a raw image with camera sensor metadata. These data include camera data, lens data, sharpness, contrast, white balance, and similar image information, which are stored separately and can be manipulated without affecting the original photo. Another feature of NEF format is that it preserves 12-bit to 14-bit data, which ensures an extraordinary tonal range of an image. NEF files are not compressed, which results in substantial sized files with excellent image quality. If you don’t have access to Nikon proprietary software, you can open and edit NEF files with the following apps Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, Able RAWer, etc.
