다음과 같은 설정에서는 12bit가 된다고 합니다.

• Silent Shooting
  *I would turn this mode OFF for critical work
   
• Long Exposure NR (when the camera automatically captures a black frame after the exposure)
  *I would turn this mode OFF and capture a black frame instead
   
• Bulb (more than 30 sec. exposure)
  *Once you pass 30 seconds your files will gain 1-stop more noise and have 1-stop less dynamic rage. If you are doing Nightcapes and need ISO 400 or higher, the noise increase from the bits reduction will be unnoticeable according to the article below. Another workaround is to take several 30-second exposures and stack them in Photoshop as Smart Object –> Stack Mode -> Summation. So (2) 30-seconds stacked this way will end up looking the same as a 1-minute exposure.
   
• Continuous Shooting. (Including Bracketing continuous shooting)
  *When using Bracketing, do not set the camera to continuous shooting
