I'm starting to shoot directly in JPG to save time, since I don't need RAW processing most of the time.

However, my D7100 and my Z50 have no built-in lens correction profiles for my Sigma 18-50 and 50-150 lenses.

Is there a way to hack the firmware to add support for third party lenses in camera?

I could shoot RAW and batch export JPG using Lightroom, but their standard profiles are not equivalent to what Nikon offers and I like the Nikon colours better. Moreover, I use Auto D-Lighting (which is wonderful: it's an automatic "expose to the right" with brightness correction!), which Lightroom does not apply automatically.

I haven't used Nikon Capture for ages, but I remember that it can take RAW and export them as JPG using the same "engine" the camera does, just sharper and with more details. Adding third party profiles to this software would be enough.

Therefore an alternative to modifying the firmware would be to use Nikon Capture, adding third party profiles to this software.
