Hi,

my guess is that at 10s you probably have cause to use high bit depth. Coming down to 2s or 1s it becomes much more balanced, and at sub 1s exposures there may be no gain. It all depends rather on the exact noise level of the camera and the brightness of the target. The smart histogram 'bars' readout gives a much more accurate indication of whether it is worth using high bit depth - see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#The%20 ... ram%20Bars

cheers,

Robin
