Let’s see what the different exposure moods in canon are.

Auto Mode: Though it is an auto mood, Canon T7 offers auto flash mood in 3 different ways. 

— The auto Flash Mood will decide when to fire the flash, measuring the lighting conditions. 

— ON flash mood will always fire the flash no matter how bright the condition is there. We use it to light people’s faces even in bright conditions. 

— OFF flash mood doesn’t allow firing of flash. Sometimes we get flummoxed seeing the flash is raised even in OFF mood. But it only happens when your previous capture was in a flash ON mood. 

Portrait, Night Portrait, Closeup, Scene Intelligent: In these moods the camera raises the flash if it thinks extra light is needed.

Sports and Landscape: In this mood, the camera doesn’t provide any flash. 

P, Tv, AV, M modes: The flash results depend on the shutter speed and different shutter speeds are available in four different exposure modes.

In P mode shutter speed ranges from 1/60 to 1/200 second. In Av mode, the shutter speed remains between 1/200 to 30 seconds. In this mode flash syncs automatically with shutter speed.

In Tv mode, you can select shutter speed between 1/200 to 30 seconds. But it requires a tripod. In M mode, you can hold the shutter as long as you can. But flash fires at the beginning of the exposure.
