Nikon D5300 images overexposed on import

When importing RAW images from my Nikon D5300 into Aperture they are all well overexposed.
The images are perfectly exposed in JPEG format and on camera playback.
I have installed all available updates, in particular Digital Camera RAW update 5.02 for the D5300 to no avail.
Same problem occurs in iPhoto.
Is this just a bug and I have to wait for a fix?

Are you using any in-camera settings? Then check Keith Barkley's User Tip:

  • Nikon D5300 and NEF file import problem

    I Just purchased a Nikon D5300 and I cannot import the NEF files into Adobe Photoshop Elements Ver 12.

    You need at least Camera Raw 8.3.
    Elements 12 ships with 8.1.
    In Elements 12, click Help > Updates to update Camera Raw.

  • Why is my raw files from my Nikon D5300 completely overexposed in Apertue 3 but ok in View NX 2? Do I just have to wait for an update/patch from Apple?

    Can anyone answer the above question?
    Thank you.

    Are you shooting RAW and using in-camera settings, like Active delighting in your Nikon? Then the RAW files will appear in Aperture very different from the JPEG previews that your camera is showing you, and also from the results in Nikon's own software.
    Don't use in-camera setting, if you are shooting RAW, because Aperture will show you the naked RAW file, without any effects applied.
    See Keith Barkley's user tip for a full explanation:

    Just in case, that your images are not only overexposed but also desaturated , have a look at this thread:

  • Nikon D90 images not in import screen

    I recently purchased the Nikon D90 and of course I am playing with it this weekend. The images appear fine once imported into Aperture, however, the images do not appear on the import screen. At this point the images are still on the SD card in the camera. Currently they only appear as a grey box. The images will import into Aperture but the images don't appear on the import screen.
    Has any one else had this issue? Had did you do for the photos to appear in the import screen?
    Thanks

    What you describe is IMO a workflow problem because IMO importing original images directly into any images management app is bad practice. IMO Aperture should not even allow direct card-to-Aperture import because it is not safe images handling practice.
    Take a look at the suggested workflow below.
    IMO generally most useful to help keep drives underfilled and fast (drives slow as they fill) is to manage by Reference ("referenced images") as in the workflow outline below where Master images can live anywhere. However with small changes similar workflow could be applied to Managed Masters.
    I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or even camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional recommended backup step).
    • Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Good luck!

  • I need help updating LR4 so I can import Nikon Df images. When I try to update, a message says, no new updates. How do I get new updates for LR4?

    I need to update LR4 so I can import Nikon Df images. When I try to update a message says there are no new updates. Please help?

    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    The latest update for LR 4 is version 4.4.1, you can download the appropriate install package from the links above.
    Unfortunately support for the Nikon Df was only included with LR 5.3, so the options are.
    1. Upgrade to LR 5.
    2. Utilize the free Adobe DNG Converter (the latest version is 8.8) to convert the nef files to DNG format and import the dng files into Lightroon 4. Good idea to retain your original raw files and do appropriate investigation into the uses of the DNG format.

  • Iphoto doesn't recognize my Nikon D5300

    My new Nikon D5300 will not be recognized by Iphoto (9.5.1). There is no problem with the System Profiler USB (Nikon D5300) and Digital Images (D5300).
    When I connected my old camera Sony Alpha to the Mac, Iphoto will automatically open and it asked me for import of the photos.
    With my new Nikon nothing happens.
    Havy anyone a solution?

    Does Image Capture (in your APplications folder) see it?

  • Nikon D5300 RAW not handled by Aparture v.3.4.5

    On my trusted Mac Pro, MacPro1, 1 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) (later OS-versione not accepted) with Aparture v. 3.4.5, I get "Unsupported image format" after importing files from my new Nikon D5300. In Apple's list over handled RAW formats D5300 have 3 ***, indecating the need for Aperture v. 3.4 or later, which I have (barely). Ideas anyone?

    Have you installed the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.02*  ? That introduces the Raw support for your camera, see this list:  OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
    This RAW support requires Aperture 3.4.5. or iPhoto 9.4.3
    You can download this update here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1713
    Bit this update requires at least Mt. Lion, so you will have problem to install it with Lion.

  • Unable to open raw files in lightroom from my nikon d5300

    I have recently bought a nikon d5300 camera and cannot open any raw files using elements 12 or lightroom 5.3 which are both recommended for the new camera and its raw formats?

    What exactly do you mean, please describe in detail, "cannot open any raw files". What steps are you trying in Lightroom, and what happens when you try those steps in Lightroom, and what is the error message.
    Did you use any Nikon software at any time in the handling of these photos, before you try to open them in Photoshop Elements, or import them into Lightroom?

  • Why Won't my Raw files from my Nikon D5300 open in CS4?

    I recently got a new Nikon D5300 and shot in raw for the first time today.  When I tried to view the images with photoshop CS4, a pop up window appeared stating that photoshop does not recognize that type of file, and therefore cannot be opened. Is this a compatibility issue of photoshop vs. camera files or something else?  As a portrait photographer I shoot in RAW 90% of the time so I'm very desperate to get this resolved.

    Yes, it's the never-ending struggle of software keeping up with hardware (cameras) and the eternal compatibility issues between them. Forces users into a never ending upgrade cycle to keep up.
    Camera manufacturers use proprietary Raw files which are specific to each and every camera they make. Every camera is different. So Adobe has to retrospectively add support to the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin for each Raw file format on a camera by camera basis after the camera has been released to market.
    The D5300 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    ACR8.3 is compatible with CS6 and newer. It is not compatible with CS4 and never will be.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:

  • How to open Nikon D5300 Raw files in PSE 11? [was:Help Please]

    With My old Nikon D90 Elements 8 would open raw files OK I now have a new Nikon D5300 and when trying to open a raw file it tells me that it is the wrong type of file Help Please
    Andy

    There isn't a generic nikon raw. Each camera has its own raw format and the camera raw plugin has to be updated every time a new camera comes out. The D5300 requires ACR 8.3, which is only compatible with PSE 12. So you have three options:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 12.
    2. Use the nikon software to convert the files and send the converted images to PSE for any further editing.
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to create dng files that your version of camera raw can understand.

  • Nikon Raw Images

    Good morning...I never had a problem with iPhoto reading Nikon RAW images until now. I just upgraded to the D300s from the D70 and iPhoto cannot import these files. They are still NEF. Not sure what's wrong. Thanks.

    The Raw from the D300s is not currently supported.
    They are still NEF.
    Unfortunately that doesn't matter. The NEFs from a 300s are different from the NEF or a 300 or 70 or 40. Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. Let them know you want it:

  • RAW Format for Nikon D5300 on Elements 3

    I am running Elements 3.  I just got a Nikon D5300 and shoot in RAW (NEF) format.  Elements 3 does not display the thumbnails/pictures when I try to import into Elements.  I did not have this problem with RAW shot on my Nikon D70.

    Every new camera model must be supported individually, and the D5300 just came out, so it has only started to be supported with the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in 8.3, which is compatible PSE12.
    Besides upgrading to PSE12 (and perhaps your OS and computer if the minimum system requirements are newer than what you have), you may be able to use the free DNG Converter 8.3 to create DNG copies of your D5300 NEFs, and those should open in the ancient ACR plug-in you are using with PSE3 as long as you set the compatibility options old enough so they are at least as old as whatever ACR version PSE3 uses.
    The DNGC 8.3 is available here:

  • Nikon D5300 causes Adobe to freeze

    In LR, or in Bridge Photo Downloader, when I point to my Nikon D5300 to import files, both programs freeze up.  I am using Windows, and from File Explorer I can see the files just fine.  I am also able to import files from other devices to LR without a problem.
    I have the most up-to-date version of the software from CC (which I just installed).
    Is there something I need to know about importing RAW files from the Nikon?  Thanks.

    That shouldn't happen. Could be a windows driver problem or a bad USB cable. What happens when you simply copy the files over using Explorer and import from your local hard disk? Have you tried using a card reader?

  • Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

    Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

    How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
    Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
    Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR?  Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

  • LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.
