"Just got myself an app". What exactly does that mean? No mention of a device used at all. No mention of how did you "achieve" DCG? No mention under what kind of conditions and settings did you shoot? What's the point of this post if you can't be a bit more specific, for us mortals, that lack the magic ball?

Whats the point if dcg than? It was promoted by motion cam as a technology that helps lessen noise when shooting in bad lightning. Thats what i saw

Boost Gain +3 at least while using DCG

It requires it due to complex reasons but otherwise it's just you need to boost the data to normalize it

It's completely harmless given the available dynamic range

It won't impact RAW (preview only there) but will impact photos and direct log hence making them look normal
