About formats

NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is Nikon's proprietary RAW image format, introduced in 1999 with the Nikon D1 — one of the first professional digital SLR cameras affordable enough to see widespread newsroom adoption. NEF files capture the complete unprocessed output from Nikon's CCD and CMOS sensors at 12 or 14 bits per channel, using a TIFF-based container that stores the raw Bayer or quad-Bayer mosaic data alongside embedded JPEG previews at multiple resolutions, comprehensive EXIF metadata, and Nikon's proprietary MakerNote tags. The format supports three compression modes: uncompressed (largest files, no data alteration), lossless compressed (reduced size with bit-perfect reconstruction), and lossy compressed (further size reduction with a custom tone curve that compresses tonal values non-linearly). NEF's MakerNote data is particularly extensive, encoding the active AF point, VR (Vibration Reduction) status, Picture Control settings, Active D-Lighting parameters, and detailed lens correction data for Nikon's F-mount and Z-mount optics. One advantage is the enormous ecosystem of compatible software: NEF is among the most widely supported RAW formats worldwide, handled by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, Nikon's own NX Studio, and virtually every RAW-capable application, reflecting Nikon's position as one of the two dominant professional camera brands through the entire digital photography era. The format's 14-bit capture mode provides another key strength — modern Nikon sensors deliver class-leading dynamic range, and the NEF file preserves this range fully, enabling dramatic exposure corrections) in post-processing.

MOBI is an ebook format originally developed by Mobipocket SA, a French company founded in 2000 that was later acquired by Amazon in 2005. The format builds on the PalmDOC/PDB container structure, adding support for HTML-based content markup, embedded images, a DRM layer, and a JavaScript subset for limited interactivity. MOBI files use a record-based database architecture inherited from Palm OS, with a header structure containing metadata like title, author, publisher, and language followed by compressed HTML content records. The format became the foundation of Amazon's early Kindle ecosystem — the original AZW format used on first-generation Kindles was essentially MOBI with Amazon's own DRM wrapper. MOBI supports reflowable text with basic formatting including bold, italic, headings, lists, and tables, as well as internal hyperlinks and a built-in table of contents. One advantage is broad device compatibility: MOBI files are recognized by Kindle devices and apps spanning over a decade of hardware, as well as numerous third-party readers on desktop and mobile platforms. The format's lightweight structure is another strength — even long novels produce compact files that load quickly on modest hardware. While Amazon has since moved to the more capable AZW3/KF8 format for new publishing, MOBI remains widely circulated in existing ebook libraries and continues to be produced by conversion tools like Calibre for maximum Kindle compatibility.
