How do you turn on the overexposed warning called "Blinkie"?

The D7000 is a great camera and "Blinkies" are a big help in identifying overexposed highlights.

Go to the menu, go to playback menu, select display mode, select highlights, press ok to put a check mark next to the word highlights, go up to done and press ok.

Good shooting.

I just press the up and down arrows on the back of the camera while looking at the photo i just took. This selects the viewing mode I want; i.e., just the photo, or photo plus blinkies, or shooting data overlaid over photo, or one of two type histograms.

You can customize how the arrows work. Mine are programmed so that the two left/right arrows advance one picture I have taken to the next, and the two up/down arrows change the viewing mode.
