Zebras and blinkies

I shoot Aperture Priority 99.9% of the time. Always have front dial for EV compensation and Rear for Aperture. But that’s just the way I prefer it.

That's the default Oly way and it's nice to use, no button pressing, just dials to twiddle.

On the Zebras, they’ll go away if the EV compensation you have set is sufficient to stop the over exposure the zebras were indicating. That’s the whole point. Try it, when the zebras have gone, put the exposure back up to see the zebras return.

Zebras or Blinkies. You need to use a program like RawDigger to experiment and see how the zebras/blinkies of the jpeg relate to the raw file.

In my case with Oly and blinkies set to 255,0 I can allow some live view blinkiness on minor highlight detail areas and then find that the raw file has no saturated channels at all, so for me it is a rather conservative warning.

Side note, my Sony RX100M6 has zebras available but I hate the display, so annoying, so it's turned off. The non-blinking blinkies seen on Oly live view do not annoy so I let them stay, they only blink on review where it is not so distracting.
