I use a Nikon DSLR and the RAW file it produces use the extension .nef
which
stands for Nikon Electronic Image File. Generally RAW files such as
Nikon's
NEF files are edited in RAW conversion software, then saved and stored as
digital negatives, after which they are converted to tiff or jpeg files
for
additional editing, saving, storage, printing or viewing.
RAW files are 4 or 5 times larger than jpeg files so viewing them in
viewing
software, if possible, would be a slow going process. For electronic
viewing they should be converted to jpeg.
