Yeah, the RAF format uses 16bit values for all cameras, even if
they're only 12bit. Other formats do at least packing so that 2 12bit
values fit in 3 bytes instead of 4. And for larger savings some
formats use lossless compression like lossless jpeg to get even
smaller files depending on the type of scene.
