Olympus mju-II EN FIN!!!

I've been searching high and low for a Stylus Epic since early June, and today I walked into the Goodwill Store and there it was, a working [mju]-II with its little Olympus velveteen zipper pouch. Marked at $3.99, but due to the one day Green Tag sale, it was 50% off. Out the door for $1.99!!!! Now I need to find a user's guide. I'll post some pics soon right here.

The only thing to use is the two push on the flash button to turn off the flash once the camera is on.

do I understand correctly that pressing both buttons turns on spot metering?

Thats right. And depending on your fingers it may be not so easy.

I have the Olympus Stylus Infinity which I bought new. After using it since the 80's or maybe the early 90's, the only thing I don't like about (and I still use it) it is 'two push' flash feature.

Lately I'm realizing how much shape of Mju ][ aka Stylus Epic contributes to ergonomics. Also sliding door stays in place while I'm holding camera, not like some other cameras of similar design. Digital Mju 400 isn't even close in this regard.

I complaining about 35mm FL and tiny buttons on film door, but body is yet to be reinvented in digital age.....

Well, I did find many Stylus cameras with zooms, but I've been looking for the one with the 35mm lens.
