For the R5, how do shutter mode and continuous shooting mode affect the bit value?

In the spec sheet it almost doesn't explain this at all. Neither in the manual. 

I tried to figure this out by shooting all shutter mode/shooting mode combinations and try to check it on my PC, however: 

using exiftool it all shows up as 8 bits: "bit per sample: 8 8 8; compression: JPEG (old version)." This makes no sense.

My goal is to determine if I should be using continuous modes and which shutter to use. 

Anyone got any ideas? 

And why are the RAW files labeled as 8-bit jpegs?

I believe that is the jpeg preview embedded in the file.

There are sites that explain the cr2 format in excruciating detail if you want.

Thanks! Do you know how I can get rid of that so it shows the raw's information?

The raw info is proprietary, I don't know that EXIFtool understands it.

You might look into the RawDigger app to see if that gives you what you want.
