Layout Orientation allows you to select a Storyboard layout: Horizontal (Occidental Layout) or Vertical (Japanese Layout).
Thumbnail Size lets you set the Clip Thumbnails' size. You can also choose to display a single Clip per page.
Thumbnail View allows to choose how Camera movements should be displayed:

You can also make the Thumbnails display only the Camera View.
