NX Studio : View and edit photos and videos shot with Nikon digital cameras. NX Studio can
be used to fine-tune files in Nikon's unique NEF/NRW (RAW) format and convert them to JPEG,
TIFF, or HEIF (NEF/RAW processing). It supports not only NEF/NRW (RAW) pictures but also JPEG,
TIFF, and HEIF photos shot with Nikon digital cameras for such tasks as editing tone curves and
enhancing brightness and contrast.
* Existing users should be sure to download the latest version, as earlier versions may be unable
to download pictures from the camera or open NEF (RAW) pictures.
Wireless Transmitter Utility: The Wireless Transmitter Utility is required if the camera is to
be connected to a network. Pair the camera with the computer and download pictures over a
wireless or Ethernet network.
Webcam Utility: The Webcam Utility lets you use your camera as a webcam when it is connected
to the computer via USB. The camera will appear as "Webcam Utility" in web conferencing apps.
Selecting "Webcam Utility" converts the camera into a webcam. For information on compatible
cameras, system requirements, and using the Webcam Utility, as well as on the precautions to be
observed during use, see the Webcam Utility page in the Nikon Download Center.
