This is an old question, but this might help someone in the future. One of the problems with the original code snippet is that in Image.fromstring('L', imgSize, rawData, 'raw', 'F;16'), the F;16 part works for 'F' mode.

This works for me:

image = Image.fromstring('F', imgSize, rawData, 'raw', 'F;16')
image.convert('L').save('out.png')
