Can I modify a nef file (RAW) with Exiftool on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit?
How?
Is available pictures or one video?
I  wish modify F 8 into F 11.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Martino,

Sure.  The command to do this is:

exiftool -fnumber=11 some_file.nef

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

* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

----Did you follow steps 1-4 in the installation instructions for Windows?----
I think yes.
My exiftool is in  "C:\WINDOWS"

my installation of exiftool is correct or not?

Try removing and then reinstalling exiftool, same link as above.

To quickly find your Temp dir, click the Windows start button and type %Temp% and that should open up the folder.

It is likely that somehow exiftool was corrupted somehow.  If that was the case then StarGeek's suggestion should fix it.

The instructions are on the install page I linked above.  And StarGeek has given you some help about how to find the temp directory.
