Hello,

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want the first byte? Do you 
want data in a specific format (maybe a hex string like "FFABE6", etc)?

Also, when dealing with "binary" files, you may want to append a "b" to 
"r". Assuming you are using Python 2 (from your print):

     import binascii

     with open('merg_2018011100_4km-pixel', 'rb') as f:
         data = f.read()

     hex_data = binascii.hexlify(data)
     first_byte = hex_data[0:2]
     print first_byte
