There should be enough for at least 5 more bits for a total of 17. I.e. the original 12 plus each ISO setting. They could theoretically have 5 analog amps and 5 A/D convertors and a post conversion combiner for an effective total of 17. 22 however, would require another 5 bits on top of the 17, which is a whopping 32 times more detail. > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
