Hi. Recently I've loaded my Coolpix 2100 with the RAW enabled firmware from tester13. The result has been wonderfull, nothing of compression noise. I'd used Nikon capture 4.2 with Photoshop CS and works grate. But; the ultra resolution can't handle correctly the remaining memory space, always say that you have 56 frames or some near to it, but the filesize in this new mode it's quiet shorter than the original higher resolution, so the memory space could be larger. I thing that the modified night landscape program it's a bit overexposed, and I can't see that the camera use the ISO-800 sensitivity now. The new 8 seconds of long time exposures really works fine, and I think it's there, replacing de ISO ASA-800 sensitivity. In RAW mode Nikon capture identify the camera like an E8700 :P , I suppose it's a new device ID instead of the original "DIAG RAW" ID, that get RAW mode. Well this was a really nice upgrade for this tiny power girl, somebody has descovered something more??

Regards Fernando.

Wow, this is certainly a cool hack.
The firmware only support these 5 cameras? I have a Coolpix 3200, don't know whether it will work on it or not. Anyway is the firmware reversable?

Title: Enabling RAW mode in CoolPix
Weblog: Camera Hacker
Excerpt: Apparently Nikon CoolPix cameras can be placed in diagnostics mode where RAW images can be generated. Why would anyone want to use RAW mode? If you want to be a perfectionist and get the real (raw) sensor data, so that you can 1) analyze the data to see what the sensor sees; 2) keep the original sen . . .
