Reading EXIF in camera

[EchoingWhisper]

Is my camera capable of capturing 12/14 bit pictures?

Yeah - 14 bit RAW. It doesn't give you the option of 12 or 14 which I believe the d7000 does

Thanks a lot!

But when I go from ACR to Photoshop, it displays that the image is 8 bit. Is this normal?

I'm assuming. That's what mine shows as well too. In camera raw I think you can click where it says 8 bit and change it. Do you have view nx2 (not sure that's the name)? The software that came with the camera?

I looked it up and found some info about photoshop changing the files to 8-bit on import but it says you can change it.

I found this thread on here. Didn't read through it all but it might have some helpful info

Yes, I found out that you could change it at the bottom.

Read those link above...maybe a couple times.

Do you have a smart phone? You could get a DOF calculator App. I use 'Simple DOF'.

Thank you for this, just downloaded Simple DOF.
