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.
