About the 16-Bit Format
When the [16 bits per color channel] option is selected for RAW image conversion,
the data is converted to 16 bits per RGB channel. Although colors are sharper than
with the 8-bit option, the file size is larger. Moreover, although Adobe Photoshop LE
and a few other advanced programs can read the files, some applications cannot.
Click an option to set whether images convert
automatically or are adjusted for image quality. Click

option to display the RAW Image Parameter Settings
dialog and make adjustments before conversion (p. 49).
Click an option to set the

channel during
conversion. Select [8 bits
per color channel] to
save images in the TIFF
(8 bits/channel) or BMP
format. Select [16 bits
per color channel] to
enable the TIFF (16 bits /
channel) format.
