Hi,
check the 'Saving Settings' tab in the main SharpCap settings and set the preferred still file format there to TIFF. That preferred format gets used in some circumstances where there is no direct choice of file format available (capturing flat frames, etc).
cheers,
Robin

Ah, OK.
It looks like the code for the flat capture only considers PNG and FITS as the possible formats - it will use the one of those that you have set as default, but doesn't consider TIFF. I will have to fix that (probably darks too).
thanks for reporting
