Research direction

Review page 89 of the PiCamera2 PDF manual and compare the stated value with the two proposed interpretations in the issue. Confirm whether the wording refers to 10-bit raw data or 8-bit raw data, then update the manual text or document the verified correction. Done means the black-level description is technically consistent.

Description

I an not sure if this is the best place to report possible issues in the PDF manual for the PiCamera2 library? I can move the issue or report elsewhere if not

Reading this section:

on page 89.

I think that this should either read:

(so 4096 represents a black level of 64 in 10-bit raw data)

or

(so 4096 represents a black level of 16 in 8-bit raw data)

Either that or I am very confused?
