What is Digital Gain Output (DGo)?

This camera comes with a Digital gain output sensor. The Dgo senor is a newly developed sensor. This sensor offers outstanding clean low light image quality as well as super HDR obtainment capabilities. Dgo sensor is also agreeable with Dual pixel AF giving the user greater freedom to acquire the picture they prefer. Canon C70 can produce an incredible 16 + stops of dynamic range by simultaneously reding the sensor out at two different game levels the C70 can combine the exposures to maintain the lower noise levels of a lower gain. Along with the higher saturation levels of a higher gain providing a super-rich high dynamic range image. This approach actually allows the C70 to have smother adjustment between ISO that means the C70 is now the first cinema EOS camera to feature an auto iso or auto gain function.
