The Microsoft Camera Codec Pack adds a couple of DLLs to your system to support the viewing of many RAW camera file formats in Windows Live Photo Gallery, Explorer, and any other software which uses Windows Imaging Codecs (WIC).

There is no interface to the codec pack, beyond the installer. Just run the download file, allow it to unpack and install the DLLs, reboot when required and you should then be able to view supported file formats.

The Codec Pack supports device-specific formats created by the following cameras.
