With the default sampling method, intervals MUST stay at it's default of 
1. Changing it only make the render MUCH slower.
If you need more samples, increase the samples count.

Also, with the default sampling method, samples should be at least 3 
defaulting to 10.
There is only a single samples value used, the second is always silently 
ignored.

This is a NOP statement. It set NOT a photons target, the default state. 
The refraction and reflection switches are only relevent IF the object 
is a target. Collect on is the default.
ANY reflective or refractive object that receive secondary photons WILL 
reflect or refract them.
