What actually happens when you change your scene settings

[AdvanTech]

Hi,

I have only had my dvx100b for a few weeks now and am intrigued to figure out how to get the best picture in whatever setting I am in and after kenji was saying he shot everything with scene settings of 0 I was wondering if really fooling around with the settings is the best idea?

For example, if I was to turn up the detail to +7 does that mean that when it's at 0 it's not shooting as high detail as it can possiblly capture? Or is turning it up to +7 "artifically" (don't know what other word to use) altering what it's actually capturing.

Thanks

Yes +7 artificially enhances the image.
