How to capture files beyond 8-bit?

For cameras supporting beyond 8-bit, first set the camera bit depth to beyond 8-bit (12-bit or 14-bit) to capture files beyond 8-bit. Select the format dropdown in the "Capture and Resolution" group, where you can find 3 options: RGB24, RAW, and RGB48. If you only see 2 options (RAW and RGB24) in beyond 8-bit mode, please confirm whether you have updated to the latest software.

RGB24 represents RGB888, and you can only get 8-bit images per channel. If you select RAW, 12-bit (or 14-bit) raw data will be transferred to 16-bit raw data and saved in DNG file format. If you select RGB48, 36-bit RGB data (12-bit per channel, or 42-bit RGB data with 14-bit per channel) will be transferred to 48-bit RGB data and saved in TIFF file format.
