Don't how it's done on your camera but here's one way to do it on a computer in post:



Unsharp Mask with a big radius and amount. Best done before conversion to JPEG by the looks of it.

It's hard to answer your question without an example of what you are trying to achieve (links to other photos that have this effect in them) as well as examples of what you have done to try achieve them, including the metadata from the shots.

Halos can mean different things to different people, anything from the way light wraps around a back-lit image, lens flare or glowing star shapes around light sources. I'm probably missing a few in the list too.
