Hello

I use Mac OS X 10.9.5 and on my digibackback IIQ Raw L is defined.
After storage the photos on my Mac all files have .TIF as the end and not .IIQ.
A colleague with same OS has .IIQ.

Why is it so?

  You have a P+ unit? This is a setting on the back under configuration (file extension)...

  P units dont have the option. They shoot Tif extension though you can over ride it in the software if tethered.
  
  The reason for tiff is the technology pre-dates the OS quick look architecture we have now .Tif was used as a common file type so that thumbnail can be seen and displayed in the finder/explorer without proprietary software.
  
  IIQ was introduced to prevent users confusing Tif RAW and Tiff processed, but is fundamentally the same file.
