COOLPIX P7700 NRW (RAW) Images

The extension of the picture taken is “.NRW.”

NRW (RAW) images cannot be printed. Creating JPEG images with NRW (RAW) processing

enables the images to be printed using PictBridge compatible printers or in digital photo labs.

No editing other than NRW (RAW) processing can be performed for images in the NRW (RAW)

format. To edit such images, first create JPEG images using NRW (RAW) processing (

A94), and

then edit the JPEG images.

ViewNX 2 needs to be installed on the computer to be able to view NRW (RAW) images on the

computer. Capture NX 2 is also compatible with NRW (RAW) images.

Install ViewNX 2 on a computer using the included ViewNX 2 CD-ROM (See “Using ViewNX 2”

(

A97).)

For more information on using ViewNX 2, refer to the on-screen instructions and help information
contained in ViewNX 2.

E100).

When playing back on the camera, only the JPEG image is displayed.
