Available SCN (Scene) modes:
 

Sub mode 1	Sub mode 2	Description
		Suitable for portrait shooting. Brings out skin texture.
		Smooths out skin tones and texture. This mode is suitable when viewing images on a high-definition TV. The camera records two pictures: one with the effect applied and one without.
		Suitable for portraits with a landscape in the background. Blues, greens, and skin tones are captured beautifully.
		Suitable for portrait shooting against a background of night view.Raise the flash manually. The use of a tripod and remote control via OI.Share is recommended.
		Suitable for photographs of children or other active subjects.
		Suitable for shooting of night scenes using a tripod to hold the camera steady. The camera uses a slower shutter speed than normal.The use of a tripod and remote control via OI.Share is recommended.
		Suitable for portrait shooting against a background of night view.Raise the flash manually. The use of a tripod and remote control via OI.Share is recommended.
		Suitable for shooting night scenes without using a tripod. Reduces blur when shooting low light/illuminated scenes. The camera makes eight exposures and combines them into a single photograph.
		Suitable for shooting fireworks at night. The camera uses a slower shutter speed than normal. The use of a tripod and remote control via OI.Share is recommended.
		With normal long exposure, an image of light trace such as star trails with bright buildings tends to get too bright. Using Live Composite mode, you can capture such images without over exposure while checking the progress on the monitor. Press the shutter button to start shooting. While the camera automatically shoots multiple images, you can view the changing result on the monitor. Press the shutter button again to end shooting once the desired result is achieved (maximum 3 hours). The use of a tripod and remote control via OI.Share is recommended.
		Suitable for fast action shooting.
		Suitable for photographs of children or other active subjects.
		Suitable for photographs of moving subjects with a blurred background. The camera chooses the optimal shutter speed for panning shots based on camera motion.
		Suitable for landscape shooting.
		Suitable for shooting the sunset.
		Suitable for shooting at snow-capped mountains, seascapes in the sun, and other whitish scenes.
		You can shoot and combine multiple images to create an image with a wide angle of view (panoramic image), approximately double that of normal shots.
		Suitable for high-contrast scenes. Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes four shots and subsequently merges them into one properly exposed image.
		Suitable for shots of candlelit scenes. Warm colors are preserved.
		Disable camera sounds and lights in situations in which they may be unwelcome.
		Suitable for portrait shooting. Brings out skin texture.
		Smooths out skin tones and texture. This mode is suitable when viewing images on a high-definition TV. The camera records two pictures: one with the effect applied and one without.

		Suitable for close-ups.
		Suitable for vivid close-ups of flowers or insects.
		Suitable for photos of timetables or other documents. The camera heightens the contrast between the letters and background.
		The camera takes up to eight images at once at different focus positions.

The followings describes the differences:

In AUTO mode, the camera determines the appropriate settings for the shooting conditions and subjects.
The camera automatically sets to the best suited shooting mode such as Landscape, Portrait, Portrait + Nightscape or Macro. AUTO mode is convenient for beginners.

Camera settings cannot be changed, except some menu options, because this is a fully automatic mode. Use the Live Guide to easily adjust color, brightness and background blurring.

P mode is for program shooting. The camera automatically sets the optimum aperture and shutter speed based on the lighting conditions. Shooting settings such as exposure compensation, white balance and sequential shooting can be changed.
After getting used to shooting with the camera using the AUTO mode, SCN mode or AP mode, we recommend you to use the P mode for changing to the desired settings manually.

Note:
In AUTO mode, the camera may not set to the desired shooting mode depending on the shooting condition.

The following describes what the computer screen looks like when a camera with two inserted SD cards is connected to the computer.
 

When connecting the camera to a computer using the USB cable, with SD cards inserted in both of the camera's card slot 1 and 2

When the E-M1 Mark II is connected to the computer, the camera will be recognized as the external drive (removable disk). Two separate drives are displayed on the computer, each one for the camera's card slot 1 and slot 2.

Windows:

When connecting the camera to a computer using the USB cable, two drive letters for card slot 1 and slot 2 are displayed in ascending alphabetical order. In the following illustration, for example, drive "E:" is slot 1 and "F:" is slot 2.

Macintosh:

When connecting the camera to a computer using the USB cable, card slot 1 and slot 2 are displayed as "NO NAME".

When transferring images to the computer using OLYMPUS Viewer 3 software

When a camera with two inserted media cards is connected to the computer using the USB cable, each card is displayed as "E-M1 Mark II" in the left side of the OLYMPUS Viewer 3 window. You can switch the display of card slot 1 and slot 2 by selecting either of the listed "E-M1 Mark II". For displaying the images in card slot 1, select the upper "E-M1 Mark II".

When you shoot still images with two cards inserted into the E-M1 Mark II camera, you can select in  Save Settings how to record the shooting data to each card.

The available settings are Standard, Auto Switch, Dual Independent and Dual Same. Standard is the default setting. In Auto Switch, the recording switches to the other card when the card in use becomes full. In Dual Independent, the images in the two cards are recorded in different image quality modes. In Dual Same, the images in the two cards are recorded in the same image quality mode.

These settings are available for still image shooting.
