Essentially, you change the gain dependent on where the pixel is on the sensor array, therefore upping the gain for pixels that need it. I repeat, this would be done before the storage of pixels in the ADC that converts the electrically stored energy from analog to digital values for the computer. The RAW ( and all other) data would have already been corrected for gain. We did this years ago for correcting certain optical sensors that had to have flat gain across the array. It is really pretty easy to do. Mind you, I have no inside information at all on the workings of the M8. Of course, I could be wrong and it is all marketing hype...... Henning, did you get to try the M8 with coded and uncoded lenses of the same type? For inastance, the 24ASPH from a few years ago uncoded, and the same lens, but coded?
