Ok, I think I made an assumption here that seems to be wrong..

I read somewhere that when adding "hf_gray_16" to a scene, it produces a
16bpp-gray-.TGA file and that file format is kinda internal to PovRAY for
the "height_field" keyword.

My initial question should have been:

If I want to produce a 16-bpp-grayscale image, can I use this format and how
can I use it (since it's not an universal format) or is there another
simpler way?

Hope that clarifies thing :/

O.
