Nikon Responds to Encryption Claims

Posted by Zonk on from the thanks-for-your-interest-but-please-leave dept.

ader writes "In a rare response to public complaints, Nikon has released a statement clarifying the use of encrypted white balance information in the NEF raw data from its digital cameras. They point out that this 'proprietary' format is accessible through the use of their 'proprietary' SDK, which is freely available to 'bona fide software companies' on written application. In other words: open source coders can butt out."

    "In other words, "Would all the tech-saavy people in the audience please discourage everyone they know from buying our products"."
