Well - On my K200D you can choose to apply some in-camera processing of JPGs - Night, Surf and Snow, Food, Sunset, Kids, Pet, Candlelight, Museum. Then there are some custom modes - Bright, Natural, Portrait, Landscape, Vibrant, Monochrome. It's all a bit confusing and I never use any of them, but I assume that these are what "Scene Capture Type' refers to. Of course, I could be wrong.....
