This means that based on user input parameters, the engine can make some very deliberate choices about where and how it chooses to place and use samples in the scene. Again, let's set the system up. If we come up to our Render Settings window, come into the V-Ray tab, we see we have the Image sampler roll out open by default.

We also have this Lock threshold to DMC sampler Threshold setting, this means that at this moment in time the system is going to be working along with this Adaptive Threshold value to determine how to clean up noise effects in the scene and how to use Image Samples.
