We did the more complicated &#8220;MySOS app&#8221; application. If you visit now, you will need to visit &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/vjw-lp.digital.go.jp\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Visit Japan Web<\/a>&#8221; to enter your traveling details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a summary of what you should do to enjoy Japan. I hope it can help those who want to visit Japan soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about gears, overall, I love the Google Pixel 7 Pro for the software computation on complex scenes with multiple lighting conditions. However, I am disappointed with the cinematic mode. The footage was not usable. And I am surprised that Google Pixel 7 Pro (and Pixel 7) does not allow external microphones like the Saramonic microphones that I wanted to attach to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For night scenes, thankfully, the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 did a wonderful stabilizing job. And for interesting scenes, I used the Insta360 ONE X2, which I can edit the footage later. Can you guess which gear I used in each scene?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will do a review on the Google Pixel 7 Pro and DJI Osmo Mobile 6 later. In the meanwhile, enjoy the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last visit to Japan is in 2019 just before the COVID-19 Pandemic hits the shore (in many countries).
