However the files sure do act vastly superior to 8 bit. I'm referring to RAW files, not jpegs. Cheers Hoppy Just my 16 bits worth. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Eric Korenman Sent: Thursday, 11 January 2007 07:53 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] M8 Article in LFI To get back on point The question I still have is: Can you get the full dataset out of the 14bit chip? The square root thing implies there is compression going on (14bit capture - > 8 bit file 'non linear' DNG file -> reexpansion to16 bit image file) The article mentions something about using the 16bit option to get the full dataset. Is there a menu setting to get 16 bit DNG files out the M8? All of this stuff aside, some of the printed results from the M8 look stunning. Mine is on order..
