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..

Eric
