I ask because if these settings are helpful they may act as a guide when using your own settings in manual mode.

Kenny, to be quite honest my camera's have never been used in any of these programmed modes as I tend to use manual or shutter priority.
So from the manual, the camera sets "One Shot AF", single "Drive Mode", "Evaluative Metering", "automatic ISO" and "AWB".
Which just leaves the composition to the photographer.
How are these settings designed to help in macro situations?
By allowing the photography to concentrate solely on composition.
More often than not I find the ambient lighting unsuitable, insufficient light or unwanted shadows, so I use my flashgun either with a softbox or Stofen Omni-bounce attached, this is the main reason that I always switch the camera to manual, including focussing,
I would never use an ISO in excess of 100, as noise always seems apparent above this figure. I do use AWB.
As I shoot in manual the other settings do not apply.
