How to control filters?

[drwin]

I am running v2.2.2.
I need help with filters.
I can access the filters with no problem (Tools>Preferences (Ctrl-P)> Show settings>All>Video> Filters). And I can activate them (at least the ones I have tried) by ticking the appropriate box(es).
The problem: I can't control them. I can't set the degree of sharpening or blurring; I can't set the frequency of frames to be captured or the file type (file extension as jpg, tif, etc.) in "Scene."
In the Documentation/User Guide there are images of the control panels that users are supposed to be able to see. I'm not seeing the same thing, and some control are missing.
I would include screen shots of the control panels, but I don't know how to do that. Sorry.
All information and suggestions much appreciated!
