extract preview from IIQ file

[mrglu]

Hi exiftoolers,

I have been able to successfully extract previews from CR2 and NEF files but not from IIQ files. Is the command different? I'm fairly certain there is a preview embedded in the file.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

It looks like there aren't any preview images available in IIQ files (or at least if there are, ExifTool doesn't  yet extract them):
