10. Now, scroll down to the EXE selection (EXE = Execute)
and press the OK button (see Figure 6-21). The

JPEG is being created with your carefully crafted
settings. An Image saved screen will show briefly, and
then the new JPEG will be shown in a normal Playback
screen. You can cancel the operation with the Playback
button.
This is a nice way to create specialized JPEG images from
NEF (RAW) files without using a computer. How much
longer will it be until our cameras come with a keyboard,
monitor, and mouse ports? They are computerized after all!
My Recommendation: This is a rather complex, multi-step
function since you’re doing a major conversion from NEF
(RAW) to JPEG in-camera, without using your computer.
You’re in complete control of each level of the conversion
and can even replace the camera settings with which you shot
the original image. If you want to simply convert the image
without going through all these steps, just scroll down to the
EXE selection and press the OK button. That will convert the
image with the camera settings you used to take the picture.
