The bug

Sony cameras (at least a6700) use .HIF extension instead of .HEIF.
My guess is that the app is not considering the HIF extension as HEIF files.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian

Version of Immich Server

v1.123.0

Version of Immich Mobile App

v1.122.3

Platform with the issue

Server
Web
Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

N/A

Your .env content

N/A

Reproduction steps

On Mobile (at least Android):

Add a HEIF file w/ .HIF extension
Backup doesn't recognize it as a file

On Web:

Upload the same .HIF file
It gets processed and handled correctly

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

We currently map .hif to image/hif - I'm not certain that is an actual mime type.

Perhaps it needs to be mapped to image/heif?

@mmomjian commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025): We [currently map](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/server/src/utils/mime-types.ts) `.hif` to `image/hif` - I'm not certain that is an [actual mime type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Image_File_Format). Perhaps it needs to be mapped to `image/heif`?

Possibly. The server does handle it fine through web, so it seems more or how the mobile app is handling it. One guess is that given that Android doesn't seem to natively support it, so maybe when trying to list the items on the folder it doesn't return it?
