What does this do exactly? I shot all day, the other day and had it on HIGH. What would it have done to the image(s) if I actually used this function?

If you were in 24P or 30P modes, it did nothing to your image. It's the gain setting, low=0db, m=6db, and h=12db (as from the factory... you can customize it). Of course in progressive-scan, gain doesn't work on the original DVX100.
Had you been in 60i, with H gain, you'd be seeing an image that was electronically amplified to be about 2 full stops as bright as the light would allow (i.e., 4x brighter than normal). It'd also make the picture a bit noisier.

Thanks Barry.
I always shoot in 24p; so I'll ignore this function!
