When “on,” (an “X” appears to the left of this choice when on) provides
12-bit color support into Photoshop.
The camera captures images in 12-bit color for each of the red, green,
and blue planes. However, supported versions of Photoshop receive
images in either 8-bit per color format (24-bits per image) or 16-bit per
color format (48-bits per image).
When this option is off, the driver fits the 12-bits per color from the
camera to the 8-bit per color Photoshop format with limited loss of
luminance or color data. The full resolution of the file is preserved.
When this option is on, the driver expands the 12-bits per color from the
camera to the 16-bits per color Photoshop format. When on, acquiring an
image requires more time and RAM than when off. When on, you have
the full 12-bit dynamic range formatted to 16-bit for precise adjustments.
You must still change the data to 8-bits per color plane for printing,
export, and so on.

When “on,” (an “X” appears to the left of this choice when on) a one- or
two-word help tag appears near each item in the driver image window
when the mouse rests over the item. These provide help in understanding
the purpose of each item in the window. When off the tags do not appear.
