In Prime 1, the Scan Visor works by locking on to preset points on the map. Enemies will have these points affixed to them so that Samus can scan them as they are moving. The scans are color coded: red scan points are typically more important for the lore, while orange scan points are not as important. The scan points will become translucent when fully scanned.

===Scan Visor Crash===
If you bring up the Scan Visor at the exact wrong time while transitioning through rooms, this can crash the game. The reason this happens is because the Scan Visor checks to see which scan points are loaded when it is brought up, and it crashes if it looks for these points before they are properly loaded. Scan points are only fully loaded once the room is transitioned. The video below demonstrates one example of this crash when transitioning into [[Reflecting Pool]], though this can happen in any room.
