TILT and GAIN. Questions

I have been reading and just want to make sure if I have the right idea.
Basically the tilt refers to angle between the antenna and the horizon.
It is usually left on auto to give you efficeint weather monitoring.
Does it basically show you areas of precipitatation, etc?
When would you use this in manual mode?

And the GAIN adjusts the intensity of the lighting?
This should be left to Auto I read, but am not sure what exactly that will do.
And I read somewhere when passing FL200, you can set it on CAL, and again am unsure as to what that does either.

Sorry for troubling with some silly questions, I hope somebody can help me out.
Thanks guys!
