NEF (RAW) files have the extension “*.nef”.

process, Picture Controls and settings such as exposure compensation and
white balance can be freely adjusted.

The RAW data themselves are unaffected by NEF (RAW) processing and
their quality will remain intact even if the pictures are processed multiple
times at different settings.
