Hi 14Ikesan. I throughly enjoyed this ride through mostly farming country. I've got a response to a couple of the issues you mentioned. If the window you are shooting through has a slight curve, top to bottom or side to side, that's most likely the cause. Those windows are safety glass, two panes of glass, with a clear compound in between, to keep them from shattering in an accident. If the window frame flexes just a little bit, going around a curve or over a track joint or switch, it will flex the glass a tiny bit. Where that flex is, in the glass, could show up as a waver, in the camera. I've seen that in the wide and tall windows in Phoenix's light rail cars, as well as busses and trains, here in the US. Doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. Your other comment about the changing light level, as I saw it, is just that. Every time I saw it, during the trip, the train quickly passed through a shadow, then back out into bright light. It happened too fast for the camera to catch up to the change in light level. You are going to have to go back to the manual, or fiddle with it yourself. Good luck! I've been taking slides and videos for around 60 years, and I still run into situations that drive me crazy! Thanks for another one of your fascinating videos!
Good evening. Thank you for your kind comments. I am still unsure of how to solve some technical problems. However, if these problems were not so difficult, I may have lost interest in photography. So, it is not a bad thing that problems remain. The speed of smartphone advancement is amazing, and there is no doubt that such images can be taken because such a small device is easy to operate and has extremely accurate color correction and exposure correction. We must take advantage of this advantage. I will take your comments into consideration and shoot again.
It must be an exhibit. There are some relics lined up at that station. Modern railways require electrical safety systems, so they probably don't use semaphore signals. Thank you for your comment.
As you point out, there are hardly any rice paddies along this route, probably because the winters are so cold there. Instead, most of the farmland is orchards, producing apples and grapes. The town of Obuse is famous for its chestnut sweets.
The maximum speed allowed on this line is 90 km/h, but the train the camera was on was not going that fast. I couldn't see the speedometer, but I felt it was about 40-50 km/h where the distance between stations was short, and 60-70 km/h where the distance between stations was long.

I spotted some semaphore signals on the left at Obuse Station. Are they still operational?

Thank you so much for this lovely video. I noticed that in this area there are no rice patty. Did I miss any part of this trip?

I am enjoying these videos. What is the train speed typically?
