| When I review a shot on my camera, the bright white spots on the picture flash black. (However, when I upload the picture to my PC it is fine.)I was able to fix it last time by just messing around with the settings.. However, I can't get it to work with my new, larger lens.Help?!?! This is very annoying. |

| It's simply showing you where the blown out highlights are, and telling you that those areas are so overexposed that you MAY want to adjust your exposure. Just rotate through the playback options until it goes away. This has NOTHING to do with what lens you're using.Any area that shows up like this simple has no pixels, no information, in it and will therefore show up in the final print as pure white. You can't adjust the image after the fact in Photoshop and regain the info that wasn't there in the first place.Sometimes having blown out info is all right - if the rest of the image is properly exposed, so you may want to leave it alone |

| Toggle your multifunction switch up or down until it stops.You have it set on the "Highlight" position that shows where you have overexposed the shot. Personally, I LIKE this and this is where I keep my camera set. At least you know NOW that you have to take another shot with the proper exposure while you still haev a chance to do it. Once you get home and look at the image on the computer, it's too late. If there is no detail in the highlights, they are gone forever. |
