What is the purpose of the SCN (Scene) mode?
The E-PL1 has a SCN (Scene) mode that optimizes the camera settings for specific shooting conditions. All of the settings applied in the 19 available Scenes can also be applied via controls in the camera menu, but applying them manually can be time-consuming. In addition, amateur photographers may not have a deep enough knowledge of photography to select the appropriate settings for some situations that advanced amateur and professional photographers would employ.
