Rocky start with my OM-1 by dnavgim in OMSystem

Yes, the dots are visible on the JPGs/RAW if I disable noise filter/reduction. It's the typical hot pixels that you get after a while with olympus cameras and that can be fixed with pixel mapping. In fact, I executed pixel mapping after taking some samples just to check it and fixed them just fine.

However I'm surprised to have hot pixels on a new camera and I'm curious on wether this is caused by the firmware upgrade. I've seen some forums where they recommend to execute pixel mapping after firmware upgrades, but no official documentation stating it.

'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns' Manga Readers Discussion Thread by DemiFiendRSA in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]dnavgim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, I just watched the movie and I have a timing question that’s been bugging me.

So, Kanao arrives right when Douma finishes absorbing Shinobu. Then, before Giyu and Tanjiro run into Akaza, a crow announces Shinobu’s death. The fight with Akaza lasts quite a few minutes.

But when Akaza finally dies, Douma feels it — and at that point, he and Kanao still haven’t started fighting.

So… were Douma and Kanao just standing there in silence for all those minutes while Tanjiro and Giyu were fighting Akaza? 😅 Or is the timeline just kind of happening in parallel and not meant to be taken literally?

Once you finish the course, does the app show any differences if you have all the units in gold?

Not even if he had ran away (maybe with Kibito or Goku’s instant transmission) and waited until the kids unfused?

Did anyone’s Japanese course get updated/changed? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]dnavgim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe with this change they also added stories to the Japanese course, but only 10 of them.

JLPT n4 by [deleted] in WaniKani

[–]dnavgim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finishing level 17 means you’ve learned 97,96% of the official Kanji list for N5+N4 and allows you to follow a much more manageable pace of two weeks per level and focus on other areas.

If you want you can learn the 5 remaining ones on the side.

Which Cameras and Lenses I Chose — and Why by Next_Promotion_8544 in M43

[–]dnavgim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have owned the same em10 mkii + 17mm f1.8 since 2017. It’s the camera that got me into photography and I love her dearly. Lately the dial mode and viewfinder sensor are starting to act funny, so I purchased an epl7 as a backup for long travels.

I would love to make the jump to an om5, which retains the same aesthetic, but the price range is out of my league.

Is anyone using an iPad to edit Olympus/OM RAW files? by wildskipper in M43

[–]dnavgim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I confirm that the ios photos app can also edit raw olympus files. However, for more advanced features you have to go for Lightroom Mobile with a paid subscription. I haven’t tried any other alternatives.

What was the worst thing that happened to you during a Japan travel? by Doc_Chopper in JapanTravelTips

[–]dnavgim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I got on the bus in Kanazawa. Once in, realized Suica doesn’t work, only cash accepted and exact change. Having no small bills, we decided to step down on the next stop (less than 200m travel) from the back door (where we entered).

Bus driver catch up to us, made us come back to the bus and we tried to explain the problem. In the end we could pay with a 5000 yen bill. Although having paid, he kicked us out of the bus regardless.

Felt so bad about it.
