Hello guy!
I have 800 corrupted files from my D700... Those are very important pictures to me and I don't know what went wrong but the RAW image  doesn't look correct. I tried to use Fix tool but it doesn't support my camera.
Can anyone please take a look at the file and say if it be somehow fixed?

This is odd.  I can see nothing obviously wrong with the structure of the file, and the metadata looks OK, but the raw image and both embedded JPEG preview images are corrupted somehow.  The fix_corrupted_nef utility can't fix this sort of corruption.  It may be possible that the preview images are ok in some of these files.  Try this command to extract all embedded images:

exiftool -preview:all -a -b -W %d/%f_%t%c.%s DIR

Hopefully you will find something that you can use.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
