Hi I have a Nikon d5200 and after I take pictures and I am looking thru them some of the pictures have this black shadow thingy on parts of the pictures that like flashes. I noticed on the bottom of picture it says highlight I don't know if I hit some kind of button or something but I cant figure out how to get it to stop . anyone ever do this or have a suggestion as to what happened? thanks for your help

You have turned on highlight notification within your menu. Go into your menu and find highlight notification and turn it off. I own a canon so not sure where you will find it in the Nikon menu system.

Take a look at the top of page 149 of your user manual. This explains the options in the playback mode. What you are seeing flashing are what is also sometimes referred to as "the blinkies". It is an indication of an overexposed area. Uncheck the "Highlights" box to turn off this option.

Camera is fine. In the menu you can turn it off.
However, if you are getting a lot of pictures with the "blinkies" then you probably need to make some adjustments to your exposures. The highlight warning is actually a good thing. And personally, I rely on it in many situations. It really does help avoid blown out highlights.

Right. That would be like turning off the low oil pressure light or overheating light in your car.

The blinkies are important. Often times I leave my review mode to that screen.
It is important to know when something it overexposed, as when it is, you can never recover any information from it. Why in the world would you turn it off?
