Ryan Bishop · Answer 1

Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level. Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels. Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096. Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i. e. the CCD has 12-bit level.
