pre-programmed exposure modes (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)
Explanation:
"Motivprogramme" could simply be "motif programs" but the word "motif" is not as widely used in English as "Motiv" in German, so I would suggest one of the following:

"photography modes (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)"

"program choice (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)"

"programmed subject settings (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)"

"pre-programmed exposure modes (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)"

"subject program selection (portrait, landscape, sport and movement shots, night shots)"

Here are some sites about similar cameras from various manufacturers. There is information here about several of your questions.

programmed settings


Explanation:
Presumably the microprocessor has been programmed to preselect the optimum exposure settings for typical scenes representing the listed "motifs". And, also presumably, some form of automatic (feedback-linked) exposure control would dynamically adjust the exposure factors (e.g., time, aperture, perhaps distance) to the actually encountered conditions during the exposure or sequence.
