true 10-bit color depth

On the display, the 10 bits is probably linear resolution (DAC), or so I would think. With the JPG, the transfer function (‘gamma’) means that such an image can have more than 8 EV of dynamic range. The lowest linear value of such a file is 1/255/12.92 = 1/3294.6 → -11.68 EV, if I read Wikipedia correctly.
