Organisation

TIFF but with a different version in the magic: IIU\x00\x08\x00\x00\x00. Also the tags are uncommon. The CFA is in the mainIFD that also reference an Exif IFD.

Old RAW files don't have a preview. Newer one (some RAW and all RW2) have a complete JPEG with Exif embedded.

The RAW data is compressed (proprietary). The CFA bayer layout is BGGR.
