RGB Flashing on my D7000 - So are the highlights when I view a photo taken with the camera.
How can I stop this and get it back to normal ????

Don't know about the RGB flashing-- on my D300, the flashing highlights is a warning that they may be blown. Check the histogram-- and adjust exposure until the highlights are no longer clipped on the right

Thanks- I would tell you to read the manual, but I hate them myself.
I spent some time looking at focus settings on the Canon T1i for someone today. I think Canon manuals are written better. (but I won't give up my Nikons)
Take LoneRangeFinder's advice too if you don't already do that.

Easier to ask - Had already spent enough time on trying to get that thing straightened out ....

You can turn off the highlight alert in the menu system, or better yet, heed the warning of the blinkies; they are letting you know that some part of your image is blown out. Re adjust your exposure settings, recompose and shoot the scene once again.

This is wonderful timing. My camera started doing the same thing yesterday and I spent about an hour working on it. Thank you

Everyone wants to turn this off?? I think it is one of the MOST useful displays we have. Since we know it is important to expose to the right as far as possible without blowing the highlights, this is a really cool thing. Seeing tiny areas flash like things that may be shiny metal might be OK while that same flashing on clothing or certainly on faces would cause for a quick exposure evaluation. This is the mode I have active when shooting outside. Embrace it - don't disable it.

I don't want to turn it off. It just started without warning and I was afraid it was blowing up. Kidding. I had set my camera for a night sky picture (which didn't' work out) and it started blinking when I was setting the camera back to usual settings. I was just worried I had zingged when I should have zagged.
