Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuoCaracterísticas
The Olympus µ[mju:]-II (US: ∞ Stylus Epic) was an award-winning 35mm compact camera issued by Olympus in 1997. Its small splashproof body, accurate autofocus, fast and sharp prime lens, and integrated auto-flash, led to it becoming something of a modern classic. It was originally available in black or silver. Around 3.8 million examples were sold.
It was also issued in LIMITED form in 1998, released to mark 10 million total sales of mju/Stylus cameras. 65,000 examples in burgundy fascia were made available in 1998. Versions with QD (Quartzdate date-imprinting) were also available.

I find the mju-II to be a great little gadget. It's small enough to take with you, especially when an SLR is too big or intrusive. Its operation is very simple: just slide open the cover, aim and fire. Press the shutter release half way to lock the AF, for more precise focussing.
Keep in mind that the camera resets every time you turn it off and on, so watch out for the flash, since by default it's set to automatic. Don't forget to turn it off, if needed. Furthermore, you often don't have a clue what it's doing. I'm used to my SLR giving information about shutter speed and aperture; not so with the mju-II. As with all P&S cameras, you look through a viewfinder, not through the lens: make sure your finger (or the camera cord!) isn't covering the lens, or one of the sensors.
The fixed lens of the camera is somewhat of a limitation, but not a severe one. I'd rather have a fast 35/2.8 lens than a slow zoom, especially on a compact where most of the shooting is hand-held. Keep the moderate wide angle of the lens in mind when composing a shot and you really can't go wrong.
I have noticed, however, that at wide apertures, the lens's corner sharpness is not very great and there seems to be some light fall-off as well. Just look at the adjacent picture (f159-16), which is as close to a full frame scan as I could get with my HP PhotoSmart . Using ISO 200 film, on an evening walk with rapidly fading light, the camera almost certainly can't have choosen a small aperture. In practice, I mostly use ISO 400 film, so the camera will often stop down the lens and since negatives are nearly always cropped during the printing stage, I find the printed results very acceptable.
The results are very good indeed. The 35/2.8 lens, especially with ISO 400 film, allows for great shots, even in not-so-great light. The 10x15 cm prints and the 20x30 cm enlargement I've gotten back so far, are sharp and correctly exposed. I have yet to test it's performance with slides, but I'm convinced it won't let me down.
