Program AE: This is the first mode in the Creative Zone of the Mode dial. The EOS 7D's rear-panel LCD display offers text help for each setting while in CA mode, for example prompting the user as to whether they want to blur the background with program shift, or make the picture brighter / darker with exposure compensation, etc. When set to CA mode, the EOS 7D allows the user to adjust picture style, motor drive, and exposure compensation, as well as to use the program shift function and select between RAW or JPEG file formats, but the rest of the more complex features remain under automatic control. The CA mode is a cross between the green zone and program mode. (AI Focus evaluates subject movement, automatically sets either one-shot AF or AI Servo AF automatically.) Drive mode is set to Single Shot, ISO is set to Auto, and the metering mode is set to Evaluative.Ĭreative Auto Mode: Canon has added their relatively new exposure mode called Creative Auto (or 'CA'). In this mode, the camera makes all exposure decisions with the exception of image quality. Mode: Full Automatic is indicated on the Mode dial by a green rectangular outline. Here's a description of each of the shooting modes: There are also three Camera User settings, for registering up to three banks of settings for quick recall. Other settings consist of Full Automatic, Programmed Auto Exposure, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, full Manual Exposure, and Bulb. Targeted at professionals and serious enthusiasts just like the 5D Mark II, the EOS 7D does not offer any Scene modes, but it does offer the new Creative Auto (CA) mode (see description below). The Mode dial on the left side of the Canon EOS 7D's top panel lets you select various exposure modes, with the same modes offered as the 5D Mark II.
