Olympus Stylus Epic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Olympus Stylus Epic, also know as the MJUII in other parts of the world, is a 35mm compact camera. Launched in 1996 the Olympus Stylus Epic followed a long line of prime lens budget priced, consumer level, point and shoot cameras from Olympus that have tended to appeal to enthusiasts and professionals who want a camera small enough to fit in a pocket.

The Epic has a Fixed 35mm F2.8 lens, and can focus down to 14 inches. It has a spot meter, red eye reduction and will automatically add fill in flash in ambient light to correct White balance.

[edit] Flash Modes

It has the following flash modes:

• Automatic
• Red eye reduction - this camera uses a series of low power pre-flashes rather than a separate bulb
• Flash off - This will cause the camera to automatically use a slower shutter speed necessitating the use of a tripod or similar
• Fill-in flash
• Night scene flash - This also uses a slow shutter speed and is incompatible with spot-metering mode
• Red eye reduction night scene flash
