  • ISO sensitivities of Hi 0.3 through Hi 2.0 are not available.

  • [Active D-Lighting], [High ISO NR], [Diffraction compensation], and [Electronic VR] are not available in the video recording menu.

Viewing and Editing RAW Videos

RAW videos can only be viewed and edited using computer software that supports the RAW video format. Nikon’s NX Studio software supports only the display of the MP4 proxy videos recorded alongside RAW videos.
