These are settings that have an effect on the image post-processing. Basically, these settings are all artificial: they don’t affect the optical parts of the camera itself. The settings are listed below.
Bright The amount of detail that is visible in darker areas of the image. Be careful not to set this setting too high, as you will see that the image becomes ‘milky-white’!
Contrast The amount of detail that is visible in lighter areas of the image.
Sharpness Artificial contrast, be careful not to set this too high as it will create a sort of 'halo' around sharp edges of filmed objects. The setting Sharpness coincides with the setting of Noise Reduction.
B&W Mode Black and White Mode makes the picture black and white.
Flip-H, Flip-V, Auto flip The Flip-H mode turns the picture horizontally, while the Flip-V mode turns it vertically by 180 degrees. When Auto Flip is on, the camera will automatically flip the picture horizontal and vertical.
DZoom This is the digital zoom of the camera. With this feature ON, you can zoom in slightly on the filmed object. Disabling this feature while the camera is already zoomed in to the maximum level, will cause the camera to automatically zoom out several times, until it reaches the maximum zoom level without using the additional digital part.
Style

Here, you can choose the style you want, such as Default (standard setting), Normal (which makes the picture more ‘natural’), Clarity (makes the picture more clear), Bright (which makes the picture more bright) and Soft (which softens the picture).
