Cannot view Nikon Z9 Images in Mac Os Preview/Finder

Ventura only can view Z9 images if they are lossless RAW format only. A Z9 jpeg shows up in Finder on macOS 13.3.1 for me. So does a Z9 firmware 2.0 RAW image downloaded from the DPReview samples for this camera.

Apple did not support the Z9 in Monterey or earlier.

I don't know what role that Z9 firmware 2.0 (or later) plays so might be usefull to ensure you have the latest Nikon firmware in the camera before an upgrade to Ventura. The RAW image I downloaded from the DPReview site was from April 2022 and had the v2.0 firmware installed then.
