The Olympus mju Ace is a consumer-market zoom compact introduced around 2000 as part of the late mju (µ) zoom family. It shares the same weatherproof clamshell body language as the mju-III line but was positioned as a lower-cost entry point. The lens is a short zoom starting near 28mm at the wide end , giving it modest wide-angle reach compared to the standard 38mm start of the mju-III. Program-only exposure, autofocus, and built-in flash are the standard feature set.

Before you buy used
- **Zoom mechanism** - test the full zoom range before buying; motor failures are common on cheap late-era Olympus compacts.
- **Clamshell hinge** - check for stickiness or resistance; battery acid leaks cause binding.
- **Battery contacts** - corrosion from old CR123As; clean with isopropyl alcohol.
- **Lens element** - check for haze and fungus; these were not stored carefully.
- Not worth professional service; replacement bodies are inexpensive.
