First of all, sorry if you got too excited, this is not a 'Found it!' Thread, at least not yet. I happen to know that similarly to most cameras, the current Nikon superzooms also have a hidden diagnostics mode in their firmwares. Among other stuff, that includes RAW output, which is something I would really like to see. The question is, are there others who would be interested to try to do some digging/testing to find out how to get there? And furthermore, are there any good guesses or pointers on how it could be enabled?

I think it's outstandingly interesting what you are proposing! The only public and very useful development I know is CHDK, and as far as I know it was possible because Canon agreed to cooperate to that software. As a software developer with many years of experience, I would be happy to participate, if not for two major drawbacks: first, I'm quite busy to the job; secondly, I don't want to make experiments with my cameras lest Nikon implemented some software 'sanctions' against the unauthorized access. All the best, Augustin. Augustin Man wrote: I think it's outstandingly interesting what you are proposing!

If the current CoolPix models work similarly to most other cameras, it is highly likely accessing the diagnostics mode doesn't need any software changes, but rather pressing the right keys or putting the right files to the SD card. So in a way things that one could either do even accidentally or by putting in an SD card somebody could have 'booby trapped' with the correct trigger files. These should be things for which Nikon has built some sort of protections that make sure you at least won't brick the camera without some sort of confirming actions (like actually using items on the diagnostic menu that would be shown). So in my opinion risks should be pretty minimal as long as one does not mess with the firmware file contents. And as said before, I don't believe that is actually necessary, at least as far as accessing the diagnostics mode and RAW output goes.

Unfortunately I have no expertise in that area myself. I wondered if, although it relates to Nikon DSLRs, might be a useful starting point, if you haven’t already seen it? I am aware of that site and it can indeed be very useful. As you said, they only deal with DSLRs, and based on a couple of discussion threads there, do not seem to have any interest in compacts. Coolpix models however share some dna with those DSLRs so at least some of the information and tools might be applicable.

AFAIK the situation is as follows. Basically every camera internally has RAW support as that is how they work. Understanding History A Primer Of Historical Method Pdf. They first read the raw data from the image sensor and store it to some memory. Only after that they perform some processing to it and encode it as JPG. It's just a matter of whether that intermediate RAW data is provided to the user or not. Since all the image processing and JPG encoding modify the original source data in various ways, those who troubleshoot issues with the cameras will need a way to see the raw data to find out how the actual lens is performing. That is why cameras that do not directly provide RAW tend to have a diagnostics mode that does.
