D5500 Support?

[JustCaudle]

Hi Gang. Great tool. Nikon support was not productive. They seem to think that the file just can't be tweaked now.

That having been said, I have the D5500 and would love this fix. Any word on when this tool may get an update for it?

Thanks!

What doesn't seem to be supported?

I downloaded a sample D5500 image from this flickr page and edited a EXIF tag, added IPTC and XMP tags, removed a different EXIF tag, and saw no problems.

I think you may be talking about the fix_corrupted_nef utility.

Do you have D5500 NEF images corrupted by transfer with Nikon software?  If so, I can add support but I need a full set of sample images.  See this thread to see what is required.

Ah yes. Thank you for clarifying on my behalf. That's exactly it, Phil.

I'll hit up that thread and see what I can gather for you.

Images created and sent. I used dropbox as the files were too large to email.

Also of note, the D5500 doesn't use lossless or uncompressed (looks like it was dropped from the features during the update from the D5300).

I couldn't find the exact version of Nikon Transfer I had been using and had already uninstalled and reinstalled newer versions under direction from Nikon support. Hopefully the version I used (which was even older than the one with which I initially discovered this issue) will create the same issue. It's still called "Nikon Transfer" so I assume that it will.

I got the images, and I'll post back here when I have had time to look at them (I'm out of town today).

Great.  I've updated the fix_corrupted_nef utility to support D5500 images.

Thanks!

Other than the few files I had already "rated" pre-fix, everything seems to be back to the desired form.

Thanks again for your help, Phil! Great utility!
