This is also how we found that electronic shutter & continuous drive modes in Fuji cams bin the RAW data down from 14 to 12 bit.

Thanks for pointing this out and good to know.

Have you any information about the electronic first curtain shutter mode? Is the data also stripped to 12-bit in that mode?

Fortunately E-first curtain is 14 bit - yeah!

That's a bit odd to use a 14-bit container file to store 12-bit data unless raw file standards are not flexible at all. I have no problem getting only 12 bit when using ISO values larger than 320 on the XT3 since the engineering dynamic range is always below 12 bits anyway at higher ISO values, but that's a loss of almost almost one stop at ISO160 though.

Yes, this will only matter is specific situations.  I've had them - back lit leopard hair in harsh African daylight @ base ISO.

One way you can see the change to 12 bit is the files are a bit smaller.
