Set the Metadata panel to Default (top left), then click Customize at the bottom.

Check Bits per sample under Camera Info in the dialog that appears.

You can also rearrange the order of items in the panel by clicking Arrange at the bottom.

I see that too, a blank Bits per Sample field. I wonder what the reason is. I tried a couple of raw files from different Sony cameras, and I get three different answers in three different applications. For example, for one camera I get…

Lightroom Classic: (Blank)

Adobe Bridge: 16 bits per pixel

RawDigger: 14 bits per pixel

 

The one that matches the manufacturer’s published spec for that camera is RawDigger, 14 bits per pixel.

 

Very odd…
