Re: G7X II - RAW into Lightroom question

I am successfully using the Canon software for batch converting the CR2 into TIFF.

I am specifying 8-bit TIFF because that is the only option which mentions EXIF, and obviously I want EXIF preserved. It looks like 16-bit TIFF doesn't support EXIF.

The strange thing I noticed in the Canon software is this

which looks like the program uses camera settings to decide what to do during the conversion. Obviously this is not desired. The CR2 should be converted into a "raw" TIFF file.

Does this make any sense? In any case I cannot see any camera config for the CR2 file processing. There are some Jpeg options for tweaking the jpegs...

Ideally I would like a simple standalone batch converter (the Canon software is mega bloated) but the only one I could find is dated 2012 and is unlikely to process the current CR2 format.
