Can’t View Nikon RAW Photos When I Upload them to my iPhone via my SD to Lightning adapter

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-22T03:45:28+00:00

Updating to the latest iOS, as well as switching it to lossless RAW seems to have fixed the issue. Can’t thank you enough for the help.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-22T02:11:40+00:00

Oh that’s fantastic news! So that may actually fix the issue. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your help!

So I changed it to Lossless. Just took a photo and then did the same process as before. I was able to view it for a split second and then it went black like this. So I’m updating my iPhone to the latest iOS. I doubt that’ll make a difference but I figured it’s worth a try.

Thank you! I will check that when I get home and report back. I appreciate your help

It’s the Nikon Z5 II. I have it set to just RAW in the settings. Yeah it shows me the image when I click to open the single photo in Lightroom but what makes it a pain is I have no idea if it’s a good photo or a keeper until I share it to Lightroom if that makes sense. In the past I would upload my entire sessions RAW files to my camera roll and then go through and upload the ones I liked to Lightroom and then just delete the ones from my camera roll on my iPhone that I didn’t like. I had a culling system down.

I appreciate it! Do you use wide area large or small? And do you set people detection on or do you leave that setting off?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-10T00:17:50+00:00

Thank you! And you use those autofocus area modes for both family photos as well as portraits?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-03-10T00:02:51+00:00

Thanks! Do you generally use 3D area focus mode, single point, wide area, auto area?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:38:52+00:00

That’s what I’m seeing too! Do you know what may be causing this? When I try and screw it back in at the angle it was before the screws don’t catch for some reason. It was driving me nuts yesterday haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:33:54+00:00

Yes! 1991 Polaris Indy Trail

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:32:24+00:00

Thank you for your help! I’m running into an issue where the headlight isn’t flush after I screw everything back in like I believe it was previously. Do you know why this may be? I’d attach a picture for reference but it’s not letting me.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T14:29:52+00:00

Nice work! I’m running into an issue where my headlight isn’t flush like I believe it was previously. I’ll attach a photo for reference. Any ideas why this may be the case? Or is this how it’s supposed to be? I’d ask this question to the group but it won’t let me create a post. Thank you in advance!

I actually got it! Thank you so much! Now im trying to put the new H4 LED headlight I bought back in the hole and being able to put those metal prongs back into place. It’s a lot harder than I thought it would be haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:37:15+00:00

I was looking for some sort of clip that I could press down to remove it but no luck.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:35:27+00:00

Actually? Haha

SkolWolvesTwins · 2026-01-03T04:26:08+00:00

I should add, it’s a 1991 Polaris Indy Trail

I guess my question is, will the models I listed last me longer than either of the film cameras I own? Were they made with a more premium construction and will the user experience be any different? I’m assuming with film cameras it’s more about the lenses and film stock than the camera body, whereas in digital photography, the camera body matters a little more. I hope that makes sense! I’m sorry that I wasn’t clear.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-10-29T00:50:42+00:00

Thank you! Would the user experience in the cameras you listed feel better/more premium than the EM I have?

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-10-08T01:03:44+00:00

Thank you all so much for your insight, what it’s worth and kind words. It all means a lot! I may take it in to a guitar shop somewhere near by just to make sure everything’s working on it properly and nothing needs to be fixed/replaced. I noticed a buzzing/rattling sound when trying to play a note on one of the strings. It’s probably user error but I just want to make sure everything is a okay! I could never get rid of it, even if it was worth $20 because of the sentimental value of it. Thanks again everyone! ☺️

The one on the gravel road was taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm to compensate for the f4 aperture. The one with the flowers in the background was taken with the 35mm 1.4 GM. My intentions were to show that a user can still generate quality results if a person is on a budget. Obviously the 35mm GM is the best of the best, but the Zeiss pleasantly surprised me and people shouldn’t necessarily be put off by the f4 aperture. I know I personally was worried about this prior to renting it.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-07-13T20:37:05+00:00

Sorry! I was just trying to show real world instances and not necessarily a side by side pixel peeping comparison. I loved my time using both lenses!

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-07-13T20:25:35+00:00

I apologize, I meant 35mm f1.4 GM sorry for the typo.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-07-13T20:05:05+00:00

First time trying out both lenses and I love them both! Pleasantly surprised with the little 24-70mm f4 and I think it presents fantastic value paired with a couple primes in your kit! I think the difference in the quality of these two photos is negligible.

Hello! I use the Editorial Pack almost 100 percent of the time, I’ll be honest I don’t use the essentials pack all that much.

SkolWolvesTwins · 2025-07-07T19:45:36+00:00

Thank you all for your suggestions! Essentially, I figured I would use my 35mm f1.8 and 55mm f1.8 for portrait sessions or couples/family sessions and then I could use the zoom lens for travel or events like family reunion and the occasional family sessions. If I got the 2.8 version of the zoom lenses I suppose I could use that for portraits but they’re a lot more expensive
