The Olympus Stylus Epic, also known as the μ[mju:]-II[1] in other parts of the world, is a 35mm compact camera.
Introduced in 1997,[2] the Olympus Stylus Epic followed a long line of fixed focal length, budget priced, consumer level, point and shoot cameras from Olympus that tended to appeal to enthusiasts and professionals who wanted a camera small enough to fit in a pocket.
[3][4] The fixed lens on this camera is much faster than other Olympus point-and-shoots, many of which include zoom lenses.
The "active three spot" automatic exposure system on this camera is quite sophisticated for a point and shoot.
It can handle situations that would deter most point-and-shoots, like focusing properly when aimed at two people, where there is a space between the subjects.
