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 the [Convert with RAW image
quality conversion] option to display the RAW Image Parameter
Settings dialog and make adjustments before conversion (p. 86).
Click an option to set
the bit count for each
RGB channel during
conversion. Select [8
bits per color channel]
to save images in the
TIFF (8 bits / channel)
format. Select [16 bits
per color channel] to
enable the TIFF (16 bits /
channel) format.
To process images
more quickly, remove
this check mark if you
do not need to have
“false colors”
removed from
portions of the image
during conversion.
Click an option to set how file names are assigned to saved images. Select [Use
original RAW image file name] to use the original root file with a new extension:
TIF. Select [Specify a root name and number consecutively] to input the root
name yourself. The file name will comprise the specified root name followed by
a 5-digit number assigned consecutively and the file extension: TIF.
