of course there is no jpg (may be a thumbnail, but this is unimportant), but the raw file have to hold all the camera settings, even if don't applying any. it have at least to display the images on the camera screen :-)
Yes, the dedicated Nikon software (WIndows only) knows the exact choices made on the camera at shooting time. The information is stored in the raw file somehow. After all, each brand uses their own format.
Yes and no. if you run exif you will find that the setting of the camera "at shooting time" are accessible. How else would shotwell, darktable and photoshop be able to read them?
Well, I mean that the camera manufacturer can decide to add new fields at "build time", change whatever they choose, and support all that in the supplied software. These new changes will not be supported by open source software, till they catch up.
As a test, you should try running exif on your RAW files and get to see what those supposedly "hidden" settings are and how easily found they are. You might be surprised.
I have, but that was not my meaning. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
