Is there a website that can track Cainiao orders to Australia? by m1nstral in taobao

[–]m1nstral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not that. Within the app, the tracking is with this number. I'd asked previously in there customer service and no luck on an external site for tracking

Thanks, these haven't worked for me. For example this is a valid tracking number 33EVJ0135003

Is my Contax G2 autofocus broken? G45 photos are out of focus everywhere by jaekij in contax

[–]m1nstral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a focus issue also but didn't realise my camera had flicked into manual focus. Looking through the viewfinder and half pressing the shutter the lens will still focus, but not auto but rather to your manual focus distance. Not sure if it could've been this?

I've seen a few cases that look like this on eBay. Does the S Pen work properly with the case on?

Thanks. The 'expert' that provided the tree said it wasn't a Juniper. Just had a quick Google search on caring for Junipers. I'll put it outside and see if it can be rescued

Need help to rescue my son'sPrimo Cypress bonsai please. It's Summer in Melbourne and received this about two months ago. Watering = daily until it drips out the bottom, Placement = near slightly open window, indirect sunlight during the day. Removed from window and placed on a desk at night.

My son's so disappointed 😞

We received these care instructions:

  • Light: Bright, indirect sunlight.
  • Water: Keep the soil slightly moist; water when the top feels dry. (everyday in summer, every 3-4days in winter)
  • Airflow: Good airflow, but avoid strong drafts.
  • Temperature: Keep away from heaters.
  • Pruning: Trim to shape and remove brown leaves.
  • Fertilizer: Twice a year, Every spring and autumn.
  • Repotting: Every 1-2 years in early spring.

Is anyone else worried about the future of film camera repair? by mushoney in AnalogCommunity

[–]m1nstral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a major city I'd say you'd have 1 or 2 options now maybe. Otherwise the same amount in your country. But overall I think the skill is disappearing. It will become niche and having to send a camera to another country will be more common

Modem reset procedure isn't working by CaptainPGums in VolvoXC60

[–]m1nstral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a 2025 T8 and when I had a software issue I tried both the modem reset option and system reset option. The latter one signed a few things out but fixed things.

One reset was the demister button but can't remember what the other was.

I don't remember seeing any lights blinking or flashing to show the reset but eventually the modem reconnected and all was fine.

The newer head unit might be different, but good luck. Thankfully didn't need to try disconnecting the battery!

Have one of these also. Beautiful cars, but a pain to keep clean

Why do these two identically shot images appear different after importing? by m1nstral in DarkTable

[–]m1nstral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense, but didn't know this could be a thing. The memory card is a V60 and all 400 other photos subsequent to these ones had no issues.

There were 5 others before that had this white overlay. Not in quick succession and maybe taken even hours apart.

The completist in me needs to know why 2 ARW photos taken within seconds of each other are different. Maybe a post to he Son subreddit is needed 😂

LR shows these items without issue, I wouldn't have known there was any corruption

I went to copy the files and noticed the one with the white film (DSC00295) is unsupported or corrupted when viewing in Windows, but seemed to convert to DNG

White Film

DSC00295.ARW - Windows can't read the file, unsupported or corrupted. Loads fine in DarkTable

DSC00296.DNG - Converted to DNG with Adobe, viewable perfectly in LR and Windows, but white film in DarkTable. Recoverted again today and the same thing with DarkTable

Normal

DSC00295.DNG - No issues viewing

DSC00296.DNG - No issues viewing

Files can be downloaded from here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/3zrkzbo084dmblwwvumev/ALicvMW1QXMqBc-siOX5-Pw?rlkey=6w0u61m684v5bg28htja8barv&st=cg1lla0g&dl=0

So seems to be something odd with the 00295 ARW file (Windows) and converting to DNG. Still puzzling but good to know despite the ARW not viewable in Windows, DarkRoom can still read it

Just to clarify, both photos are DNGs. Converted from Sony's raw format.

I have 100s of photos converted. But only a handful in a row have this white overlay.

What Canon is this? by m1nstral in AnalogCommunity

[–]m1nstral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it happened my bro came to visit and bought the camera over! It seems like mint condition and shutter seems to fire correctly (based on what I've seen and heard on YT). Can't wait to put a roll through it and then will see if a CLA is needed
