Introduction to the Super 35mm Dual Gain Output Sensor
The Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor represents a significant advancement in imaging technology. This sensor is equipped with a sophisticated RGB primary color filter (Bayer array) that ensures exceptional image quality. The sensor supports multiple modes, including Super 35 mm and Super 16 mm (crop), catering to various shooting needs.
Pixel Specifications and Resolutions
The total pixel count of the Super 35mm DGO sensor is approximately 9.6 megapixels (4206 x 2280). The effective pixel count varies based on the selected resolution: approximately 8.85 megapixels (4096 x 2160) for resolutions of 4096 x 2160 or 2048 x 1080, and approximately 8.29 megapixels (3840 x 2160) for resolutions of 3840 x 2160 or 1920 x 1080. These specifications ensure the sensor delivers high-resolution images, suitable for both professional and enthusiast applications.
Effective Sensor Screen Size
The effective sensor screen size also varies according to the selected resolution. For resolutions of 4096 x 2160 or 2048 x 1080, the effective size is 26.2 x 13.8 mm (29.6 mm on the diagonal). For resolutions of 3840 x 2160 or 1920 x 1080, the effective size is 24.6 x 13.8 mm (28.2 mm on the diagonal). This flexibility allows users to choose the best resolution for their specific needs, ensuring optimal image composition and quality.
Dynamic Range Capabilities
The Super 35mm DGO sensor boasts impressive dynamic range capabilities. When utilizing Canon Log 2, the sensor achieves a dynamic range of 1600% or 16 stops. With Canon Log 3, the dynamic range is 1600% or 14 stops. Additionally, in Wide DR mode, the sensor offers an 800% dynamic range at ISO 400. These features ensure that the sensor can capture a wide range of light intensities, providing greater detail in both the shadows and highlights.
