D800 Orange Burn: Little Help, Please?

FTH:

This is interesting, but I am entirely unfamiliar with this kind of--for lack of a better phrase--camera hack.  Am I correct in thinking that these picture controls are a way to get a newer--and, in this case, sharper and hotter--camera to behave as an older, familiar camera?

Like Mack [above], you suggested looking at the camera's internal presets, which I will do as soon as I have the D800 to hand again.
