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."

  1. Do not buy Nikon cameras then by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If Nikon is not interested in allowing us to get to the pictures we snapped with their camerica, then whey would we be willing to buy their cameras?

    Good thing I bought a Kodak digital camera then.
