Missing Metadata Nikon D90

I've found certain data which is present on my camera picture info is not present in any of Apertures metadata info. Specifically flash info from a remote source. Is there anyway to access this info in Aperture.
Thanks,
BobM

Thanks Shylock but I do find very basic info such as the flash was used, but no info about my sb 800 speedlight. The in camera info tells me for instance the my group M flash is set on manual and 1/80 and my group A flash is set on manual and 1/4 power. I can't find this info in Aperture. And really not much about the flash except that it was used. The info seems to be there but Aperture is not seeing it.
Actually I get more useful info about the flash in Preview's inspector window. The info may be present in Aperture and I just can't find it.

  • Why only 10-bit depth dng files from 16-bit Nikon D90 nef files?

    When I convert 16-bit .nef files from my Nikon D90 to DNG I get only 10-bits depth.
    Since the camera should be producing 12-bit depth it seems I am losing information in the conversion, and I don't want that.
    I have installed the 7.1 DNG converter, and I suppose that is what is used when I download from camera memory card through Bridge 5.1 and click dng conversion.
    Same thing if I open the .nef in Photoshop 5.1 , which kicks up CameraRaw converter 6.7.0.339.
    Why is this?
    Can't .dng have more than 10-bit depth?
    Sverk

    Well, according to the user manual and to the review in
    http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D90/D90A.HTM
    the D90 delivers 12-bit color depth in the .NEF files.
    Of course, I haven't looked at the actual pixel data to find out how finely graded they are.
    What I'm looking at is what Bridge 5.1 (WindowsXP) says about the files in the
    Metadata/ Bit depth entry. 
    In that, the .NEF files are listed as "16-bit" depth (although it will actually hold only 12-bit resolution), but when converted to .DNG it says only  "10-bit",
    and that holds both when the conversion is done automatically during the importing from the camera, and when converting from .nef files afterwards.
    Archiving pictures in the .dng format seems to be a good idea -- but only if no information is lost in the conversion.
    Thus, the "10-bit" info showing in Bridge worries me.
    Might it be that the meaning of bit depth is different in the two file formats?
    Might there be something about the de-mosaicing that necessarily consumes two bits of depth?   Whether in the .dng conversion -- or when saved .nef files are later to be used?
    In other words, for practical purposes, are the formats equivalent in color resolution,
    Or is there indeed a certain loss?
    Maybe a very difficult question, but I'd sure want to have a technical ly definite answer before I dare switch to using the .DNG format all the way.

  • Unsupported image format from Nikon D90 raw

    I am getting the message Unsuported image format when I download my Raw photos from my new Nikon D90 camera. The screen is red. I can not determine what I need to do to correct this problem. Please help.

    Thanks for the reply. I did update to the highest aperture 1.5.6, no go.
    That is what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure if there was a loop hole I was missing. I love using Aperture but since I just got adobe photoshop elements 8, I can't see paying more $ for an upgrade on aperture 3 when pse will do relatively the same thing. I always shoot in raw. Any other suggestions?
    BTW your wife will love the D90, it is an awesome camera. Just did a wedding with it and it did it all. Didn't even need my backup D50. You know what they say, If momma isn't happy, nobody is happy.

  • How do I install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) in Elements 6 for a Mac?

    I need to install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) plug-in on Elements 6 for at Mac?  I'ved downloaded the plug-in but it does not seem to work.  I've got Elements 10 on my desktop Mac but I am using Elements 6 on an older iBook G4.  Any help will be appreciated.  thanks.

    For PSE 6, get the .plugin out of the download, then go to your hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe>plug-ins>file formats and remove the old plug-in, then put just the new .plugin file in there instead. Older versions of PSE can't update ACR from the help menu the way PSE 10 can.

  • Can I use my Nikon D90 AVI files in Premiere Pro CC on my iMac?

    Hi and thanks in advance to anyone who can lend me a hand. I am new to both Premiere Pro CC and Macs. I have used my Nikon D90 AVI files before with Premiere Elements on my PC with no problem, but the same films aren't working on my new setup with Premiere Pro CC and an iMac.
    I can see and preview the films in the Source window but when I try to drag them onto the sequence window I get a little hand with a "no" sign.
    I am using a version 7.1.0 (141) of PP CC and am on OS X 10.9
    Do I need to transcode the files? If so, to what? And what is the best way to do that?
    Many many thanks for any help!

    Just remember, you will not always get the answer you want right away. Some people will point you to tutorials, some, like me, will attempt to help and still point you to tutorials, and some will just answer the question as best they can.
    Some might insult you, and some merely insult your intelligence. Don't be offended. Do, however, search the forums as best you can in an attempt to find the answer before you post.
    I realize that people don't always have the right words to describe the problem, and therefore have trouble searching. If searching fails you, just ask. It generally works out in the long run. And as you have discovered, sometimes a combination of posts may do the trick.

  • Can't open NEF files from Nikon D90 in CS4.

    I had to uninstall and reinstall PS CS4, now I am unable to open my NEF files. I've used CS4 for years and always been able to open NEF files. Any idea what is going on? Any suggestion? I'm computer illiterate so please keep any answers as simple as possible. Thanks

  • I have a new Mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension.  I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

    I have a new mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF.  Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear.  I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one.  Any ideas?

    You do not need to convert to DNG.
    The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
    What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4.  Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
    Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually.  There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page.  You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

  • HELP! Converting video captured w/Nikon D90 into usable codec w/FCP 5.1

    I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to get AVI files--captured with the Nikon D90--to export with Final Cut Pro 5.1
    I can't convert to ProRes as I don't have FCP 6, so how can I convert my AVI files to something usable in FCP!? I've searched and searched, but all the help forums only touch on doing this with ProRes, which again I DO NOT have on my version of Final Cut.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm going out of my mind.

  • Raw Update 2.3 + Nikon D90 = Wrong White Balance Temperature

    Hi folks. Wonder if someone has had a similar issue and/or has any insights.
    Here's the background:
    - Aperture 2.1.2 on OS 10.4.11
    - Downloaded/installed Raw Update 2.3
    - Imported ~800 NEFs from a D90
    - On ~15-20 NEFs, pictures show up blue (white balance at ~2500)
    - The affected NEFs are semi-randomly distributed among the ~800
    Here's why it's weird:
    - NEF displays correctly in Nikon View (the thumbnail and full picture)
    - NEF displays correctly in the Finder (the thumbnail)
    - NEF displays correctly in the preview and thumbnail *in Aperture* but only until the preview and thumbnail processing completes at which point they turn blue (this is why it's especially weird)
    - Peeking into the Aperture package, the NEF thumbnail shows up correctly but the preview and thumbnail files show up blue.
    If I delete the NEFs from Aperture, close down, and repeat I get the exact same problem on the exact same NEFs. This leads me to believe that there's something specific to the NEFs but it must also be linked to Aperture and more specifically, it's thumbnail/preview process since they show up fine in Nikon View, the finder and Aperture before the thumbnail/preview processing takes place.
    Obviously I can't downgrade to Raw Converter 2.1 or 2.2 since my files are from a D90, and I shoot in raw (not raw + jpeg) only so have been limping along with Nikon's software.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I simply can't see the NEFs.
    OS X 10.5.5
    Aperture 2.1.2
    Nikon D90
    Import runs fine, and the thumbs are there, but when opening a NEF a big thumb (7x4.5cm on the 24" screen) is displayed in the middle for a second, and then it turns into a dark red message "Unsupported Image Format".
    It's general - no NEFs work for me.
    I import directly into Aperture - do you import via the Nikon Software?
    Previously I had an Olympus E400 - the RAWs worked fine in Aperture (directly imported).
    My strange observations are:
    With the Olympus E400 (10MB) the size of the JPG files were 6-7MB and the RAW files (called .ORF) were 21MB.
    With the Nikon D90 (12.3MB) the size of the JPGs are around 6.5MB (4288x2848 pixels), but the size of the NEFs are just around 11MB (I did expect over 21MB) and the pixels are 256x170 (although the picture says 4288x2848 on the camera itself).
    I'm new to this support site - do Apple supporters take time to read our questions and join these discussions?

  • How to deal with Nikon D90 AVI files in FCE 4

    I purchased a Nikon D90 digital camera and it records clips stored in AVI format at 1280x720. When I import the video, a red line appears on the video render status line. Why does the video need to be rendered before making any changes?
    Also, why when importing AVCHD video from my Sony camera, no rendering needs to be done?
    Another question. With the AVI video, what is the best way to export in HD so I can post on the web?
    Thanks for any help.

    as far as I know, the D90 (.. what a beast - and the price!!) records in 30fps, 1280x720 square pixel, MotionJpeg, .avi container ..
    which is +a bit off+ the standards, FCE does support.. = rendering
    I had the opportunity to 'play around' for some minutes with the D90.. and made some 'test'-recordings.. it is really breathtaking to use 'photography' techniqués while doing video, esp. FoD...
    but..
    have you seen that movie done with the Canon 5D II?
    http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2086
    it offers some more practical features, as automatic focus (=Nikon lacks that), and, even more important, the Canon allows to switch off automatic exposure (=in my tests with the D90, the pic 'pulsated' due to diff. light situaation) ...
    ==edit==
    oops, Canon pulled that video.. too much bandwidth
    absolutely brilliant, perfect photography, even in low light condition, ... but 'motion picture' ..

  • Cannot Open Nikon D90 Raw files in Photoshop Elements 7

    Does anyone have advice on how to get Photoshop Elements 7 to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw (.NEF) images? When I try to open one of these Raw images, I get an error message saying that the program does not recognize that file type.

    The D90 was supported as early as ACR 5.1 so you should download the PSE-specific version of ACR 5.6 from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ via the drop-down list at the top, and following the PSE-specific link and instructions.

  • Nikon D90 and ipad connection through USB

    i can't get the nikon d90 to speak to my ipad through the camera connection kit.
    -hardware works, i can connect my phone through the jack
    -i've had luck with the SD card connector in the past, but it's sadly been misplaced
    -my USB to USB mini cable works to power my ihome speaker
    -when the cable is connected to both the ipad and the camera the playback menu on the camera greys out.
    -i've gone through the standard connect/reboot/wait thirty seconds troubleshooting with no luck. 
    sorry for the point form, this is the third time I've posted this question and the website keeps deleting my text. ;)
    I am overseas and really want to get my photos onto my ipad for posting.  i'm wondering if i'm making a really stupid error, and hoping that I am before I go out and buy a new camera connection for the SD reader, or replace the cable.
    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks for responding so quickly!
    Unfortunately I'm overseas so I can't try it out on my computer. (part of what's really frustrating is that I should have tried it out before I left home)
    The camera recognizes that it's connected to something, in that the menu greys out whenever it is connected to the ipad, but that's all that I can see so far.

  • Nikon D90 Updates for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3

    Does anyone know when Adobe will provide updates to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw files for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3? Based on what I have heard from the Nikon forum Lightroom & Photoshop cannot read the D90 raw files. I was planning on upgrading my camera, but there is no point if I can't read the files.
    Thanks,
    Bevan

    OK, let me see if I'm following along here:
    The D90 produces an new kind of NEF file, different even from the D3 or D300 on which the D90 is (more or less?) based?
    We will have to wait patiently for Adobe to create an update for both ACR and LR2, which should happen within 60-90 days (allowing for 4 times/yr). Could be as soon as October, since Photokina is at the end of September.
    OK, my D80 still works great in the meantime.
    Where I am getting a tad confused though is re: the "DNG" conversion. I understand that is a universal "digital negative" format supported by Adobe, and that NEF files from Nikon DLSRs can be converted to DNG -- that's an option when importing into Lightroom.
    But, if Lightroom can't read a D90 NEF file, how can it convert it to a DNG?
    Thanks,

  • With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
    Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Single App - $19.99/month
    Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
    If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.
