Tip #93: Watch for the Blinkies

Now that I have you reviewing your photos more discretely with less chimping, I wanted to let you know that there is an excellent tool on most camera LCD displays that can be put to good use.

Check your manual for the overexposed view available on the LCD. This view will point out areas of the photo that are blown out by over exposure. The blown out areas will be blinking to point out missing data. To correct the exposure you can adjust your camera settings and retake the shot, or you could use the exposure conpensation button to reduce the exposure by fractions of an f-stop and retake your photo to correct the blinkies. On Nikon cameras the exposure control is marked (+/-) ans sits near the shutter button.
