I'd like to ask a question. Under Record menu, screen 5, (on my K-5, but I know other models have this same feature), there are Instant Review options. One of them is "Bright/Dark Area", which when ON will cause your blown out highlights to blink on the LCD screen. I always thought that this meant that the pixel sites had been saturated (which would be true whether the output was RAW or JPEG). Is that incorrect?
If that is correct, it seems to me that it is all one needs to make sure that one is not blowing out parts of your image in the highlights (which is the "sin" that we seem to be wanting to avoid, most of all). Correct or incorrect?
