------------------------- fix_corrupted_nef -------------------------

This utility fixes D4, D600, D610, D800/D800E, D3200 and D7100 NEF
images which were corrupted by downloading with older versions of the
Nikon software.
Instructions:
Windows Version
---------------
1) Open "fix_corrupted_nef_win.zip" and move the
"fix_corrupted_nef.exe" application onto your hard disk.
2) Drag and drop the corrupted NEF files and/or folders onto
the "fix_corrupted_nef.exe" application icon.
3) A command window should open and prompt with this message:
"Bit depth of compressed images (12 or 14) [14]?"

Type either "12" or "14", then press RETURN. If you don't know the
bit depth of your compressed NEF images, or if you have mixed 12
and 14-bit compressed images, or if you have only uncompressed NEF
images, just type "14" (or simply press RETURN). If this is wrong
for some images, you will not be able to open the fixed images
(but you can delete these and re-generate them with the other bit
depth later). Note that this number is ignored for the D3200 and
D5200 since the NEF bit depth can not be changed for these cameras.
4) The application should now run and create a "fixed" folder beside
each of the original NEF images. This folder contains the fixed
NEF images with the same names as the originals.
5) Verify that you can open the fixed NEF images. If you can't open
any of the images, delete them and go back to step 2, but this time
select the other bit depth in step 3. (Only the images you deleted
will be re-generated, the others won't be touched.)
With any luck, the mess caused by the Nikon software is now fixed, and
all of your NEF images are now restored!
