P: Nikon D4/D800 nef file cannot be imported

Thank you, Eric 🙂

Hi Chelin,

If you are using a DX lens on your D800 and shooting in Live View Video mode, you will need to wait for the next Lr dot release, which will enable proper import for those NEF files.

If you are using a FX lens on your D800 and shooting Live View Video mode, you should already be able to import those files into Lr (be sure you have the latest version).

Hello, It's been a year since you posted this reply, I have Lightroom 5 and my NEF stills shot in Live View Mode are not imported. I hope you can help me. Many thanks! Chelin Miller

Hello, it's been a year since you've posted this reply. I had this problem with my D800, shooting stills in live view mode. Do you know if a solution has been found? Many thanks! Chelin

One thing more, I get the message "unsupported file type" in all "account's"

Hey Rikk - No I did't - I always import from LR.But I have insatll the viewNX2, but I only can see the smal frams, when I will see the big frams, it will not. When I will import to my LR 4,1 the same problem pop up - can't not import.

Peter, Did you import them via Nikon software first?

Sorry but LR 4,1 wil not open the Raw 14 bit / 12 Bit from my D800. 😞

4.1 DOES OPEN THEM. Just tested it
Hurrahh

I, too, have a D800, upgraded to Lightroom 4, now 4.1 & it will not open my raw photos. Please help.
