Is ther a way to get 16bit image from opencv videocapture

If one camera support 16bit gray image, how to get 16bit image via opencv videocapture class?

Can we do this with by cam.set CV2 CAP_PROP_FORMAT properties? If yes, how to set this properties?

This code example works for me :

import cv2
device_index = 0
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(device_index+cv2.CAP_DSHOW)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter.fourcc('Y','1','6',' '))
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB, False)
code, frame = cap.read()
