    Hmmm you don't mention which model you have. When I bought my D300, my older version didn't work. Try clicking on Help and Update, see if an update improves things for you?

    Otherwise the only test I can think of is if it is a D3 or D300 try setting it to 12 bit instead of 14 bit?

    Nothing else springs to mind sorry

    that is a normal file size for a raw image. a raw inage is the uncompressed data from the image sensor of the camera, it is great for use when you are going to be editing the images as you can make more changes without distoring or losing any image quality.

    I use silkypix to develop my raw images and paint shop pro to edit them and it works out great. silkypix is free, download it and see how you go
