I am getting yuy2 from my camera interfaced board and I need to process it to get raw16. for that I am developing an application in opencv-pyhton after applying Y16 codec but its giving me uint8 data when I checked with 'frame.dtype'. Isn't it should be uint16?

    import cv2
    import numpy as np
    
    # open video0
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_MSMF)
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter.fourcc('Y','1','6',' ')) 
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB, 0)
    cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FORMAT, -1)
    enter code here
    if cap.isOpened():
        #for i in range(10):
        # Capture frame-by-frame
            ret, frame = cap.read()
else: 
        #if not ret:
        #break
            ret = False

while ret:    
    print('frame.shape = {}    frame.dtype = {}'.format(frame.shape, 
    frame.dtype))    
cap.release()
