The Nikon D7200 raw files are only supported starting with Lightroom 6/ ACR 9.

If you can't or won't upgrade your Adobe products, you can still download their DNG Converter to convert the NEF's to DNG format, which should then be useable in older versions of Lightroom.

your mention of Photoshop CC implies that you should be able to upgrade it to the current version, in which case, it must be able to open the images. Check that you really have a recent version of Adobe Camera Raw installed.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @MichaelClark really? I'm running Photoshop CC 14.0 and ACR 9.8. PS 14.0 was released in June 2013, ACR 9.8 was released December 2016. \$\endgroup\$

Is just the meta data model name need to be fixed .

You can download https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ (macos or window supported)

than updated the nef file

$ exiftool -Model="Nikon D5300" ./yourfile.nef

for the detail tutorial you can find in below link

  • \$\begingroup\$ It's not quite that the metadata model needs to be fixed; rather, what you're suggesting is a hack of the images' metadata to get it to work, if one is unwilling / unable to update to a more recent Lightroom or Photoshop. Still, interesting suggestion! \$\endgroup\$
