The Olympus Mju III 115 (Stylus Zoom 115 in the US) is a small point and shoot compact camera. It has a zoom lens with a focal length from 38mm to 115, thus it is not very wide. The maximum aperture is not wide either, starting from 4.9 at the wide end and going to 8.9 at the tele end.
That makes the camera slow and needs higher sensitivity film, at least 400 ASA.
Otherwise it is highly specified with a wide set of film speeds, auto exposure with shutter speeds from 4 secs to 1/500 sec, an active autofocus, weatherproof, with a self timer and flash controled by the user.
It was considered one of the best buys at its time back in 1996.
It had an unexposed 200ASA film left in the camera, so I used it to test the camera. Candid moving subjects came out blurred but all other kind of pictures came out well exposed and sharp.
Some samples
Moving people got blurred due to low shutter speed selected by the camera even at the harsh summer noon light.
A close up, at the minimum focussing distance of the camera.
A portrait at the tele end, 115 mm.
A graffiti at a door.
With the self timer.
The 38mm is not very wide, so I took two photos and stitched them in the computer.
And a photo from the previous owner left in the film that escaped light fogging
