Multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) will be the primary AO mode of MICADO, driving the design of the instrument. It will be provided by MAORY, the E-ELT first-light AO module. MICADO will also come with a SCAO capability, jointly developed by MICADO and MAORY. SCAO will be the first AO mode to be tested at the telescope, in a phased approach of AO integration at the E-ELT. We present in the following the MICADO-MAORY SCAO specifications, the current SCAO prototyping activities at LESIA for E-ELT scale pyramid wavefront sensor (WFS) and real-time computer (RTC), our activities on end-to-end AO simulations and the current preliminary design of SCAO subsystems. We finish by presenting the implementation and current design studies for the high-contrast imaging mode of MICADO, which will make use of the SCAO correction offered to the instrument.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1117/12.22311922-s2.0-85002271211000387429700009https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9909/1/Joint-MICADO-MAORY-SCAO-mode--specifications-prototyping-simulations-and/10.1117/12.2231192.short?SSO=12016SPIE.9909E..0ACFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
