  Actually the documentation only mentions PNG and PPM as supporting bit
depths other than 24 bpp:

"Most of these formats output 24 bits per pixel with 8 bits for each
of red, green and blue data. PNG and PPM allow you to optionally
specify the output bit depth from 5 to 16 bits for each of the red,
green, and blue colors, giving from 15 to 48 bits of color information
per pixel. The default output depth for all formats is 8 bits/color
(16 million possible colors), but this may be changed for PNG and PPM
format files by setting Bits_Per_Color=n or by specifying +FNn or
+FPn, where n is the desired bit depth."
