16-Bit Challenges
When do you really need the 16-bit capabilities of RAW files?
By Rob Sheppard ...
14 Bit A/D Conversion Analog to Digital conversion is usually the first stage in the process of converting an analog signal coming from the image sensor via multiple channels into digital data for the image processing and storage of image data.
Even 12-bit raw images are more than capable of rendering smooth gradients in the brighter areas, but as we go down in stops there are fewer and fewer values available to record data and thus gradients will naturally be less accurately rendered.
Bit-mapped
Bit-mapped refers to the way in which images are reproduced in a grid of dots, known as pixels. Each pixel within a bit-mapped image is a distinctive shade of black, white or grey.
Bit depth
Techniques Glossary Bit depth
The number of bits used to represent each pixel in a digital image. This figure suggests the image colour or tone range.
Bit depth also plays a role in color space selection. The bits of a digital file must be spread across the entire color space that is used with an image.
Bit Map
A representation, consisting of rows and columns of dots, of a graphics image in computer memory. The value of each dot (whether it is filled in or not) is stored in one or more bits of data.
Bit Depth
The amount of colour information associated with a digital image. An image with a higher bit depth can display more gradations of colours.
Bit Depth - Number of bits for each pixel in an image. The higher the bit depth, the greater number of colors there are. This is also sometimes referred to as color depth.
Bit:
The smallest unit of memory; a contraction from ´binary´ and ´digit´. Binary digits are 0 and 1, also known as ons and offs.

bit depth
The size of a value used to represent a pixel in bitmap graphics data. This is usually stated as the number of bits making up the individual data value, or sometimes the number of bytes.
Bit-mapped. Images formed from pixels with each pixel a shade of gray or color. Using 24-bit color, each pixel can be set to any one of 16 million colors.

bit depth
The bit depth of an image (also known as colour depth) refers to the number of bits used to describe the colour of each pixel - see colour depth for more on this.

Bit - A contraction of binary digit, the smallest unit of information storage or digital information that can take on one of two values, such as false and true or 0 and 1.
bit:
Short for binary digit, which is a computer value of zero or one, on or off; this is the most basic language used by computers.

Bit depth
also called pixel depth or color depth--measures how much color information is available to display or print each pixel in an image.
Bit. Stands for 'binary digit' and refers to the smallest part of information that makes up a digital file. It has a value of only 0 or 1. Eight of these bits make up one byte of data.
Bit Specifications: Number of colors or levels of gray that can be displayed a one time. Controlled by the amount of memory in the computer's graphics controller card. An 8-bit controller can display 256 colors or levels of gray.
Bit
Short for a binary digit using a value of either zero or one. It is the smallest unit of data used by computers.

Colour depth.
Bitmap
A representational form for a digital image in which each bit in the computers memory corresponds to one dot on the screen or printer.
bit
a binary digit, 0 to 1, represented as a single on-off circuit.
bit depth
maximum number of bits that are used to define a pixel that is a measure of the defined brightness range.
Bit depth of cameras
TXS for the link to DPReview.
For Nikon cameras, starting with the D300, DPReview states a A/D conversion of 14; therefore I assume that from the D300 upwards the Nikons use a 14 bit sensor.
Bit
The basic unit in a binary numbering system. Binary Digit.
A single bit is expressed in the base 2, either on or off. Imagine using bits of data to express gray scale. Progressive levels display are expressed as increasing powers of 2.
A bit more technical, please. Why does this happen?
When light shines straight into an eye, the reflection is in the shape of a cone. This can be illustrated by holding a piece of cardboard with a hole in it up in front of a mirror.
8-bit versus 16-bit workflow is among the least understood aspects of photography for most professionals. This primer will get you up to speed quickly.
A bit more of a review
As I said above, this isn't going to be a huge long review about the camera itself, there are a number of those out there already and I want to get to talking about using the G1 with adapters and manual lenses.

Gok Wan, that is. Talk to your couple about what they’ll be wearing on the day of the shoot - it’s important. Make sure they’ll be wearing something they feel comfortable in and will look good.
Bit-Depth
Also referred to as color depth, bit-depth determines the maximum number of shades or intensities of colors that can be represented at a time.
Bit
Binary Digit; the 0s and 1s on which all digital information is based.

48 bit color can only be saved as TIFF files. Working with 48 bit color images is only supported by a few high end imaging programs like Adobe Photoshop and PhotoImpact ( limited 48 bit color editing in PhotoImpact).
24-bit file format with lossy compression. Offers variable degrees of compression: Higher compression rates result in smaller file sizes but also increase compression artifacts.
I'm A bit surprised at how little coverage Pentax gets. I haven't been immersed in photography for long now, having been a bit of a snapper on a lower end point and shoot.
For a bit of additional image pop, I positioned a 2400 watt-second strobe in a pan-reflector above and to the left of camera position. The strobe recorded an f/5.6 to f/8 on my incident strobe meter, slightly overpowering the ambient exposure.

It's a bit tricky to choose the right amount of exposure correction - finally nothing else than experience will help here. The "severity" of the problem is also dependent on the chosen film type.
I am a bit of a novice in photography editing. However whilst reading this tutorial I couldn't help noticing how fantastic the effects of colour accenting were. Is there a way to do this with iPhoto?

This is a bit like what J.R.R. Tolkien does literarily. The real point of the Lord of the Rings is Middle-Earth. Frodo is actually a pretty bland character, but focusing in on him puts the whole rest of the world into perspective.

There's a bit too much sky in this image for my liking. If the moon was a bit higher it'd be ok, but I don't like that much open sky above. After the Adjustment Brush changes in Step 11 and cropping, this is the image.

I'm also a bit suspicious about auctions placed by camera shops. If they can't sell it in their shop, why are they auctioning it? Also, a lot of the stores set ludicrously unrealistic starting and reserve prices.
I chuckle a bit when I read forum postings from photographers that ask the larger community if they should agree to photograph a friend or family member’s wedding.

Placement is a bit more involved than bracketing, but once gotten used to, is an easy method of improving your negatives. Placement employs the dictum of exposing for shadow areas and printing for highlights.
Well, here's a bit of a surprise. Not all THAT much difference. Sure the Canon lens is better but not by as much as you'd expect. Now I KNOW for sure that the Canon lens is very, very sharp. In fact 500mm lenses don't come any sharper.
