T7i: does it have blinkies?
1

I'm setting up a T7i. Can anyone tell me if this camera has blinkies/highlights warnings? I cannot find them anywhere.

Marie,

Do you know how to review a picture on your LCD screen once you've taken it?

If you hit that review button, and then hit your INFO button twice, that should pull up your histogram. If you have any highlights that are blown out, they will blink at you.

I wouldn't swear to it, but I don't think you can get those blnkies before you take your shot. In Live View, if you can hit that INFO button a couple of times you can see if your histogram is pushed too far to the right.
