Nikon NP3 files and ZfC compatibility?

[CardiffGareth]

Hi all,
So I have downloaded Nikon Studio NX and all registered. I saw online, after dabbling with a Fuji system, that Nikon are also now providing "recipe" files to alter how an image looks from camera. I found a few free ones I liked and saved to the PC. Using the online Nikon website for Nikon Studio NX online help, I imported them to Nx. Then I formatted a memory card in the ZfC and placed it into a card reader on the desktop, before then exporting said "recipe" NP3 files to the memory card.

Thinking this was it, as I had followed the steps perfectly, I placed the memory card back in the camera, went to "manage picture control" in the menu and clicked on "Load/Save" followed by "Copy to Camera".

I am greeted with a message saying "No picture control file found on the memory card"

The Nikon Nx software wrote the files into a folder on the root area of the card called "Nikon" and then to a folder called "CustomPC"

With the memory card back in the desktop card reader, I can see the files, so I know they're on the card!

Can anyone help please with where I am going wrong?

Thanks

Try looking at the directions at the bottom of this website. It does have many picture control profiles to download and use for free.

Nikon Picture Control Editor

Nikon picture control editor. The web application lets you view and edit nikon camera styles directly in a web browser. Follow picture control parameters can be modified: custom curve, gamma, sharpness, saturation, hue, etc

What I see different is that I think you have to have the file saved with ".NPC" extension, not ".NP3" and there are steps for importing the profiles to the camera memory done on the camera itself to do. This has to be done with the card in slot 1.

Thanks! So I'm not going mad! Tomorrow I'll have a play and see if I can export them as NPC files.

Appreciate it
