Olympus μ [mju:] Zoom 115, serial 5115099, tested and works.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The concept behind the μ [mju:] series development from «Small Beauty» has tirelessly pursued everything people look for in a camera: not only compactness, lightness, and high performance, but also the aesthetic appeal that makes a camera truly special. Since the series was launched in 1991, around 7 million units have been distributed and sales continue to rise. This makes the μ [mju:] one of Olympus’s best-selling designs.
The μ [mju:] Zoom 115 is the fifth model in this successful family. Its 3x zoom lens opens up new photographic possibilities, while the design preserves the characteristic lines of the μ [mju:] series and features a sliding barrier for the lens that contributes to both its portability and style.
More versatile and comfortable
With a focal length range of 38-115 mm, which surpasses what a 2x class lens can offer, the new μ [mju:] model is ready to photograph everything from wide landscapes to clear, natural-looking portraits. To ensure excellent resolution, it also incorporates the precision of high-performance aspheric lenses made from advanced glass.
Despite this quality, the optical group size has been reduced, making the μ [mju:] Zoom 115 more compact and lighter than previous models. Its dimensions are only 120 mm (wide) × 64 mm (high) × 49 mm (deep), and it weighs a mere 250 grams.
The broad range of advanced features includes weather resistance, which allows you to use it with greater peace of mind on a rainy day. The high-precision AF system has 860 steps, while its six flash modes cover most lighting situations. The Auto Macro system enables close-ups of subjects about the size of a postcard across the entire zoom range.
Designed for the sophisticated tastes of today, the μ [mju:] Zoom 115 is available in an elegant black and an attractive champagne gold.
Key features
High-performance 38-115 mm zoom lens with 3x magnification
The μ [mju:] Zoom 115 offers the versatility of a 38-115 mm zoom lens with 3x magnification. The high-performance aspheric optical elements not only deliver excellent resolution but also help reduce the camera’s size and weight.
Sophisticated design available in two colors
Its ergonomic, flowing lines provide excellent handling and an attractive exterior look. It also features a sliding barrier that protects both the lens and the viewfinder while contributing to its sleek lines. The μ [mju:] Zoom 115 is available in champagne gold and black.
High-precision AF system with 860 steps
With a maximum of 860 steps, the AF system guarantees sharp focus at any point, from the minimum focusing distance of 60 cm to infinity.
Weather resistance for greater peace of mind
The μ [mju:] Zoom 115’s weather-resistant design protects against sand and dust, as well as sudden rain or splashes. It complies with IEC 4 standard for splash resistance and offers added security on rainy days, at the beach, or on the ski slope.
Versatile flash modes
Six modes make it easy to obtain excellent flash photographs. It also features a soft flash system that automatically adjusts light intensity based on the subject distance.
Auto: to ensure proper illumination, the flash fires automatically when light is low or when backlighting is present.
Auto-S: reduces red-eye, a common problem in flash portraits, by using a series of pre-flashes before firing the main flash.
Off: the flash does not fire in this mode. This is the appropriate option when flash use is prohibited or when the photographer wants to preserve the moment’s natural atmosphere.
Fill-in: the flash fires in every photograph. Even in challenging situations, such as side lighting or backlighting, the fill-in flash provides balanced illumination essential for a natural-looking image.
Night Scene: flash intensity is determined based on the subject in the foreground, while the shutter speed is adjusted to correctly capture the background. With shutter speeds of up to 4 seconds, this mode allows both the subject and the background scene to be captured.
Red-eye reduction + Night Scene: this mode reduces red-eye in photos taken in night mode. Except for the sequence of pre-flashes, it works identically to the Night Scene mode.
