Fix_corrupted_nef utility support for D7200

[antony]

Hi Phil,
I have huge problem with my NEF files from D7200. The files were downloaded from camera with Nikon Transfer 1... so there is no way to open it in Lightroom, while original files were permanently deleted. What's more, when I open these images in ViewNX-i there is only 1620x1080 image size available.

Average file size is about 27 MB so I hope that the original information is all there and your fix_corrupted_nef utility could help, but I've found it doesn't support D7200 yet.

Can you help me with that?
These photos are my marriage photos...

Does the D7200 write uncompressed NEF images?  If not, I may have enough samples here already to add support for the D7200, provided that you were shooting full DX-sized images.

Edit: Could you send me a corrupted sample for testing?  My email is philharvey66 at gmail.com

As ViewNX-i states it was "Loseless Compressed RAW (12-bit)".

I've just send you a corrupted image.

Hi Antony,

I got the sample, thanks.

I have just updated the fix_corrupted_nef utility to support the D7200.

Can you select the bit depth with the 7200?  You said 12-bit, but it only works if I assume 14-bit when fixing this image.

It works! My photos are saved!
Thank you so much!

And you're right - it only works with 14 bit depth.
Probably it's another bug of Nikon software concerning metadata.

Great!  Glad you have your wedding pictures back again.
