What shooting settings affect RAW image bit sizes (14 bits to 12bits)?
IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.
RAW images recorded using the following models have a resolution of 14 bits per pixel. However, the resolution is limited to 12 bits under certain shooting conditions.
ILCE-7 / ILCE-7R / DSC-RX1 / DSC-RX1R Single-shot shooting *1 Continuous shooting *2 BULB shooting Long Exposure NR is activated *3 Compressed RAW 14 bits 12 bits 12 bits 12 bits ILCE-7M2 / ILCA-99M2 / DSC-RX1RM2 Single-shot shooting *1 Continuous shooting *2 BULB shooting Long Exposure NR is activated *3 Compressed RAW 14 bits 12 bits 12 bits 12 bits Uncompressed RAW 14 bits 12 bits 12 bits 12 bits ILCE-7S / ILCE-6100 / ILCE-6100A / ILCE-6300 / ILCE-6400 / ILCE-6400A / ILCE-6500 / ILCE-6600 / ZV-E10

- Shutter Type: Mechanical Shut Single-shot shooting *1 Continuous shooting *2 BULB shooting Long Exposure NR is activated *3 Compressed RAW 14 bits 12 bits 14 bits 14 bits Lossless compressed RAW 14 bits 14 bits 14 bits 14 bits Uncompressed RAW 14 bits 14 bits 14 bits 14 bits
- Shutter Type: Electronic Shut or Silent Mode: On Single-shot shooting *1 Continuous shooting *2 Compressed RAW 14 bits 12 bits Lossless compressed RAW 14 bits 14 bits Uncompressed RAW 14 bits 14 bits
- *1 “Single-shot shooting”, described above, includes self-timer shooting and interval shooting.
- *2 “Continuous shooting”, described above, includes multiple burst shooting under Superior Auto mode, continuous shooting under self-timer mode and continuous bracket shooting.
- *3 Long Exposure NR is active when it is set to On and the shutter speed is set to 1 second or longer.
Note: JPEG images will be recorded in 8 bits.
