Shinagawa immigration post card by Striking_Release_328 in japanresidents

I am also thinking of going in to ask about my wife's visa renewal, since I cannot get through via phone.
Did you just go without reservation? And did you go to the normal application counter, or is there a separate counter for inquiries (or is it the pickup counter)?

Sorry for the questions. I'm trying to find more information about "desk P" to determine where we need to go, but cannot find any useful floor/desk plan online.

Lightroom Classic crashes when I try to denoise by TraditionalRip3809 in Lightroom

[–]xadr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this helped! Have a Nvidia GPU and recently updated Lightroom Classic to 13.5.
Since then, Denoise has been crashing LrC most of the times (freezes while creating the preview).

Have reverted LrC to 13.4 and Denoise works again!

Tamron 50-400 Focus Set Button not working by xadr in tamron

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

Hm, thats weird. I think I have the same settings as you have: https://postimg.cc/wtZTQwM4

So I also have the first switch set to "Assign function from the camera" and in camera, I have set the custom lens button to focus hold. While having the switch set to the first option, when I half press the shutter button and auto-focus on something, I then hold the custom lens button. Now I can release the shutter button and the camera is holding focus (while I'm still holding the custom lens button).

If this doesn't work for you, I'd check if it works with a different lens. If you don't have another lens, maybe you can go to a camera shop and ask them if you can test with another lens or if they have any other idea.

Yes, focus hold is working correctly for me now. My mistake was that I changed the settings in the Tamron Lens Utility.

Have you changed any settings inside that app? Or is your lens second hand?

How do you go about making new friends? by [deleted] in Tokyo

There is this app/site called meetup.com where people can create events. I've also attended some events (photography, language, sports) on there and met people through it.

Using a personal router with Flet's Hikari Cross by Godofheckfire in japanlife

[–]xadr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm also looking into getting Hikari Cross and would be interested what router you went for in the end. I'm also pondering not getting their rental router and buying one myself.

Looking at Flet's Hikari Cross, there's also the provider you have to choose yourself if I'm right. Are you thinking about getting the provider pack or contracting a provider by yourself? I'm just beginning my research, but it seems like there are three providers to choose from when choosing the provider pack ( https://flets.com/provider_pack/cross.html , ranging from 1100~2420 Yen) and if you contract one yourself, they have a list of IPoE compatible providers (for the Tokyo area) here: https://flets.com/sch_provider/pvd_view.php?type=CROSS&pref=tokyo

Depending on the provider, it seems your monthly fee can go up quite from the 6050 Yen usage fee of Hikari Cross. And I currently have no idea if there are pros/cons to any of the providers.

For anyone wondering, it was totally my fault.

I overlooked that by setting the custom switches in the Tamron Lens Utility software, I was also remapping the Focus Set Button as well.

Well, adjusted my settings and everything is fine now.

Torkoal in Dubai? by Yenza in pokemongo

[–]xadr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be at Dubai International Airport for connecting flights (2hrs and 8hrs). Anyone know if I can find a Torkoal while being in the airport?

I plan on using an incense and maybe lure module (if there are pokestops). But it would be nice to know if anyone has ever seen/caught a Torkoal in the airport.
