Wow, even Sony themselves don't make comprehensive guide videos like this. Hundred thumbs up to you sir.
Thank you sir ;) I'm trying my best to help those in need out.... I'm really glad you are finding my content useful and informative! A big thank you for all the comments!!
i'm at 6 min and already amazed by how incredibly well you describe everything. It's so clearly explained, but also make me feel like i'm exploring a marvelous peace of creation and make me love the camera. Thank you, that's a talent of yours, that's amazing :)
I really appreciate your comments and I'm glad you are finding the video helpful Gabriel ;)
I bought the VI more than a year ago. I only used it as a point and shoot to get better resolution than my iPhone but never figured out how to use it beyond that. Your video is wonderful and perfect for a beginner like me. I'm looking forward to being able to finally understand how it functions and achieve better results than the iPhone! THANK YOU very much!
IPhone is crap. Got a Galaxy instead.
Best video I have seen, Sony don't give you a manual thats any use at all. I'v had the camera a year now and was really struggling to understand the vast menu you get. This video has set me off on the right path to learn, can't tell you how grateful I am, Will be checking out all your other videos Graham
Thank you Graham for the very nice comments and I'm really happy to hear the video helped you out ;) Many more Sony How-To Videos Here: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
Would be nice to have this video browsable by moments…
This is without doubt one of the best instructional videos on You Tube. I've owned perhaps 20 different cameras over the years. I will soon buy both an RX100 vi and an RX10 iv. I have White's books and Friedman's books on both cameras. But I've learned more in 35 minutes from this video than I could have gotten from the books in a week. Subscribed to your channel, obviously.

Is this the same menu as the RX100Va..?because I ordered that camera yesterday..for "only"...650$..
@@gixxerboy555 Yes it is and best of luck with the camera ;)
I was wondering if there was anyway to increase the length of time for the F
HFR setting? As in, I’d like to capture 15-20 minutes at a time. If not, is there a camera out there that will capture 480 rate for a long period of time?
@@nosajallen No there is not anyway to increase the time beyond the defaults of a couple a seconds.
Thank you, Jay for your response to my question below. Another question….can anyone recommend a camera case for the rx100vi that has a grip on it? The ones I have found won’t work because of the grip. Thank you so much.
I don't think they make any like that, because the case itself tends to act like a grip a lot of the times depending.
thank you! i just bought this camera 2 days ago on a whim because i needed a super small point n shoot that took DSLR level photos but was light weight without a huge footprint because i was planing on taking it with me for motorcycle camping where space is very limited. this video helped me out greatly mainly with navigation of menus and understanding each and every little icon.
Very good news and thanks for the comment!!
Hi Jay,
When I am in Aperture Priority mode, it seems that the F stop only goes up to 11. Can it fo up any further? Thanks
Do you have a video on how to set-up the remote feature for this camera?
I want the ND filters - but I also like this Favorites Menu. So the 100VA has both.
My question is if I gave up the Favorites Menu and bought a much cheaper 100V, isn't the Function Button going to basically be a kind of poor man's Favorites Menu?
I see the difference, Favorites is really cool, but.... how much cooler is it than using the Function Button? Is it worth chasing the VA just for Favorites?
I would won't both, but must have the built in ND filters knowing what I know now these days. The favorites menu is really nice, because you can load it with almost any setting and it's hard to find settings in the Sony menus! The Function menu you can't load with any setting, only some settings... so they are different things really... If you use a lot of different camera modes and settings I would go for the VA, because otherwise you might get frustrated with the Menus in my opinion over time, knowing you could have got the camera that has favorites which helps...
Hi, could you please make a video on the best settings for the Sony Rx100 VII, thank you
Just got the camera - thank you so much for this video! Very very helpful to get started using the camera.
You are very welcome and thanks for the comments!!
5 years later, this video is still the best tutorial resource for DSC-RX100
I only wanted to know how to physically change the shutter, iso, and apature settings, and you skipped it 😂
Great point and shoot though. ❤
That info would be in this more advanced video here: th-cam.com/video/KNz8RGQz0so/w-d-xo.html
Jay, GREAT video, and as a lifelong Canon dude who just bought his first Sony, I'll be referring to it a lot. One suggestion: add timecodes to your description. For example, I was wondering how to shoot HDR video. I figure it's in your video somewhere, but as a reference, it would be easier to be able to just jump to a specific topic.
Hi Jay. Wanted to ask a question but couldn't find your "Contact Us" portion on the new web site. I have had a few Sony cameras so I'm familiar with their menu system. The problem I'm have is trying to capture stills with the camera in standard HD video mode, each time I press the shutter the camera stops recording. If I go to AUTO or P mode I'm able to capture ok with out stopping the video. Is this normal? There seems to be no mention in the manual regarding this. I like to use the HD Video mode selector on the dial because it will give me the 16x9 framing before starting to record as apposed to being in auto and forcing the camera into video mode from the rear movie selector button. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ken from Canada
Hi Kenneth, You can't capture stills while recording video. You need to do that after the fact in the playback mode area when watching the video you recorded after the fact. Then you can capture a frame from the recording....
Display the movie that you want to capture as a still image.
MENU → (Playback) → [Photo Capture].
Play back the movie and pause it.
Find the desired scene using forward slow playback, reverse slow playback, displays the next frame, and displays the previous frame, and then stop the movie.
Press (Photo Capture) to capture the chosen scene.
Bought this camera recently. Your video was extremely helpful. I really appreciate it! Your channel is now my go-to for Sony camera tutorials.
Hello Jay, I have the RX100VI VI. My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS Big Sur. The PlayMemory app does not work with this operating system so how do I transfer the photos from camera to laptop? Thanks
I would not use the app, and just plug the camera into the Mac with the USB cord that came with the camera. Check out this video for reference: th-cam.com/video/Uc8LQMRd2Pc/w-d-xo.html
Great video, learned a ton of thinks. How can I use my RX100as a webcam, either via USB or HDMI ?
HDMI would be the easiest way via a Camlink geni.us/6aodP for example...
Very nice video, thank a lot. You me mentioned links for zoom and focus features. I could not find the link under the video. Could you pls let us know how we can reach these videos? Thanks again.
Thank you and Here is the auto focus tutorial: th-cam.com/video/fXKhJgnb9mg/w-d-xo.html I don't have one for zoom, sorry...
The hidden feature that make this camera unusable normally in 4K the screen goes so dim so you can't see anything on it on a sunny day. I bought one at the weekend, and had to go back to using my iPhone. It is all well and good having the best in class image processing, but if you can't even see what you are taking videos of - it is pretty redundant and uselsss!
Did you try adjusting the screen brightness? MENU → (Setup) → [Monitor Brightness] →
Hello I am having problems viewing my videos. There is an arrow when I select the button to view but when I hit the arrow on the screen nothing happens. Also, when I use the lighting device to transfer my photos to my iPad, the videos don’t seem to have been transferred. I am only able to see the photos on the iPad. I watched your video to learn how to shoot and view a video. I am pushing the red record button but can not view the video. Therefore I am not sure that I am actually shooting a video.
The screen does not work as a touch when using the menu and navigating the camera, only for focus type stuff. So you have to use the direction pad on the back of the camera like I show you in the video. To view you would need to hit the playback button and then the center button on the directional pad to "select" the clip and play it. As far as transferring files to the iPad that is harder to say. The iPad might not see the files, or they might not have transferred I'm not sure sorry Amy. I'm guessing when you are using the lightning device you are not selecting the videos from the folder, and only selecting the photos? They are in different folders.. Please check out this another short tutorial on transferring photos and videos that might help you out: th-cam.com/video/Uc8LQMRd2Pc/w-d-xo.html
I bought the camera on the advice of a friend who knows a lot about cameras. I myself am a duffer with cameras & photography. This video EXCELLENT! Just right for a duffer like me. Thanks a lot. 👍🙏
Thanks for sharing :)
Hi, can you tell me, has the RX100 VI an eye correction for the viewfinder ? manually or automatically. very importent for me
Yes it has an adjustment near the eye piece for the vision correction.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this vid so I know you did a whole tutorial on the menu and functionality. I'm very new to photography. Never been big into it, but I just bought the VI last night after a month of research. I leave in April for a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, over a 6-7 month period. And this is the camera I chose to take to vlog and take pictures of the adventure. These vids are gonna be a major tool for helping me figure this thing out.😅
Honestly, the Sony RX100 4 is by far the best camera ever despite of the new features these new camera has.
Hi,
Is the touchscreen only for focus or also for example the menu?
On this camera just focus...
So is this camera worth 900USD used in very good condition in 2024? Between this and ZV1 which is best for city and nature photography.
This camera has far more zoom range and has the pop-up viewfinder. It's also a metal body very well built... The ZV1 is a simpler to use version with less zoom, no viewfinder, and less pro oriented features, for a less money... I would say the RX100 VI for sure geni.us/0UlXb9S
@@Jason_Hermann Yes, the lack of zoom is a huge downside to the ZV1.
Thanks for the reply, I think I will go for the RX100 VI.
4:58 what a shame it's not usb-c, especially for this price
Agreed....
Hey Jay, how you I use mono color, like if I want to use green color only and rest of the colors are b/w?
Such a great video ...!
only thing missing is a phone....doh!
24p 100M on my camera is NOT an option for me in 4K setting.. could my camera be bad? a few of the recording settings aren't available for me
What options do you have?
@@Jason_Hermann thanks for the prompt reply.. I was able to switch it by changing it from PAL to NTSC
You need a faster memory card to access it.
@@King__Louie no that wasn't the problem...... i fixed it
any way of getting a good bokeh for portrait shots instead of just macros?
Your best bet for the maximum bokeh effect with this camera and portraits would be to get the background scene as far as possible from your portrait subject. Then zoom in to 200mm effective with the camera and get as close to your model as possible depending on how you want to frame the shot.The further the background is in relation to your subject will ultimately determine how out of focus the background looks. Or in other words, the best Bokeh effect. Larger sensor cameras and/or faster lenses make this much easier, and the backgrounds do not need to be near as far, just to give you a little more information. WIth this camera however, I would start with the tips I just gave you and then play around from there. I hope that helps!
@@Jason_Hermann thank you ! will try
What a great video. Can you tell me how to increase the saturation of the photos? Compared to the DSC-HX90V, the pictures of the RX100 MVI are faded with few vibrant colours.
Thank you for the help
You can change your creative style to Vivid and that will fix that ;) MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Creative Style]. helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1750/v1/en/contents/TP0001140462.html?search=creative
@@Jason_Hermann thanks a lot
What is the best point and shot Sony camera, Mark 5, 6, 7? WI FI you can send the pics. to you Ph, or computer? Can you buy a remote control for setting it up to take pictures and video???
The 5 has a faster f/1.8 lens @ max aperture 24mm, and also has less zoom range of 24-70mm effective... The 6 and 7 have a slower f/2.8 max aperture at 24mm, but have the incredible 24-200mm zoom range. The newer models have better autofocus and a few other features like longer record times and video performance with tracking subjects... My highly detailed review for the RX100 VII is here: th-cam.com/video/XYLUGCnGOOw/w-d-xo.html In that video I briefly go over the upgrades from the Rx100 VI and older models as well... You can also transfer the photos and videos with the Imaging Edge App, but it's not the best performing app. You can use the app to control the camera as well, for photos and video, and Sony does sell remotes, and a remote grip I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/E8PadrXIv7Q/w-d-xo.html
@@Jason_Hermann Out of all the camera's that you have used, witch ones are the best brands? I take pictures of people dancing, and fast cars and many things. I hope the new Sony Mark 8 has a good review for it. I like smaller cameras because they are easy to carry.
Thank you very much, very detailed guide. Just bought mine and your video was what i am looking for..
Got mine tonight, checked out a few videos to help me out... yours is the best one so far. Thank you so much! #subscribed #liked
Is it weird that my lens takes several seconds to retract when powering off? I thought it was a frustrating but harmless quirk of the VI but I see yours closes immediately after powering off.
I believe this is normal as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the great video tutorial.👍
I have come from a Sony A7iii and my first RX Camera will be the RX100 VII. Will be referring back to this video.
Best and most informative video I’ve ever come across. I’ve recently bought this model of Sony and I’m ready to explore away from Auto thanks to you.
Awesome and thank you for the comments!
Appreciate the video. Could have done without the 2:45 of intro/ explanation of how TH-cam channels work however
Thank you for the comments and feedback ;)
I greatly appreciate all the information. It would be helpful if you slow down and elaborated on some of the features. Those of us that are just starting don’t have the experience that you do.
I really appreciate the comments and feedback :) I totally understand what you are saying, but the video would be hours long is the problem I face.... Have you tried pausing as you watch and play with your camera? Also, if you have any specific questions, please free free to ask! In addition I have a ton more videos explaining specific features in more details here: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html All the Sony cameras work the same pretty much, so when looking thru the list it doesn't really matter which camera I'm using for the given tutorial ;) Jay
Hi..how to remove time stamp from image in Sony rx100 v
MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Write Date] → desired setting.
Thank you for the tutorial!
But How do you transfer the photos to and iPhone wireless... I downloaded the playmemories app and I can’t do it! Please help!!!
Have you tried the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile App?
Re Memory Recall: The are actually several pages of items for saving to up to 7 memory banks. This is about 90 items of data spread over about 10 pages. Use the rocker down area when in Memory Recall to see all pages. This feature is so much more powerful than the function button or My Menu which only allow you to change settings one by one. With Memory Recall, changing to a different memory bank can change many settings simultaneously. A real time saver. Memory Recall also can store the screen view as well as the horizontal and vertical default focus points for flexible spot. Documentation in the RX100 m6 Help Guide is very poor. This topic could use a comprehensive video if you don’t already have one. It took me about a month to appreciate all of the nuances of Memory Recall after I bought the original RX100, which is far less powerful (only 3 banks and many fewer pages of data).
Thank you Kent! I really wanted to keep this video as simple as possible for newer users, but I really appreciate your input and sharing of the knowledge! Perhaps I will create another video with a more in-depth look at a few things. The camera is crazy powerful!!
Best video for starting out with the rx100m6, no other like it, Jay seems to understand that not all of us are great at using this camera so we need full descriptions, Great job
Great teaching video
thanks for the video! it's so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Can't believe how you can talk continuously for a half hour, and actually do a great job explaining the camera. Nicely done!!
Thanks and yeah, I can just ramble on and on sometimes it amazes me as well ;)
how do i delete all the pictures at one go?
MENU → (Setup) → [Format]. That will delete the entire memory card in one shot ;)
Can I use this camera (or RX100 VA) to shoot northern lights? What's the best settings or mode for it?
Better just not buy the Sony RX100 VI (mark6), the camera literally broke down after 1 year (flash broke down). Worse after sell service because only sony distribute part for sony camera, and the markup price just unreal, save up for another good camera like nikon, canon or fujifilm.
Hi, question! On my pervious sony cameras, my viewfinder would always show my photo for a few seconds after taking it. On this camera, it doesn't show me my photo unless I go to check it out. Anyway I can can change that? thanks!
Yes, you can change that in the menu here: MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Auto Review] → desired setting.
@@Jason_Hermann thank you!!!
Great tutorial!! I’m vacationing Cairo soon. Which camera would you bring, Sony RX10 iiv or the Sony RX100 vii?
I bought this so I could take nice photos lol .So I put it on autofocus because I heard this is so sophisticated and that it is a good camera.I took a pic of the Eiffel Tower at night and it was horrible.I took out my galaxy note 8 BEAUTIFUL PHOTO ! .So if you don't no anything about photography and you don't have a lot of money and what ? 32 man/woman hours to go to film school or watch these youtube videos for 6 yrs save your money ! .I hope someone laughed.
Great video, thanks! If im using the viewfinder, can I switch the monitor off (aim: to save battery)
Thanks, Julie
Hi My Sony RX100 V flash doesn’t work, i bought it today and when i turn on the first thing i tried was the flash but it says “function currently disabled”, when i research it on the internet every post says simple things that i had tried before
This video is fantastic. I look forward to viewing the other specific topics. I took this camera on an extended trip instead of a larger DSLR. I was so pleased with the versatility and quality. I shot in manual mode much of the time (even manual focus) and was pleased with the control I had of the images.
October 2019 just bought great video it was helpful
Hi
I have a question!
how can I use this camera to live streaming or video conversation on my computer ?
i am using windows computer
thnaks
Hi Jay. Could you please upload some original photos in archive somewhere, like google drive or any other host you like?
Yeah, I have a sample photo gallery up here: photos.app.goo.gl/QzLPEKxFsNpGMDmC9 Also, be sure to check out the full review of the RX100 VI which also has a link to the sample photos gallary in the description area here: th-cam.com/video/JWlShZk0KfY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks,
Jay
Thanks. Damn, that foto "Happy Birthday" is pretty much noisy. Other fotos seems fine.
Great video. Got my camera yesterday & this has helped so much.
I have a question & hope you can help. I followed through the menu with you & on the record settings it will only let me go to 25p 100M. It doesn’t give me a greyed out option of 30p 100M, as you recommend. Is this to do with the memory card? I’ve just bought a 256gb integral ultimate pro SD card but have a feeling that might be where the problem lies. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Your camera is set to PAL mode, Mine was set to NTSC. It depends what region your camera was designed for. MENU → (Setup) → [NTSC/PAL Selector] → [Enter]
Great video thank you man!
On 23:13 you said you have another video about creative style, picture effect and picture profile and i cant find this video can you send me the link please?
thank :)
Just here dropping some appreciation thank you for this video
Fave stars 👏
For a beginner I would recommend an hx90v or hx99 ... let them start and see if they enjoy it ... for a lot less money. I doubt a beginner could tell the difference in the images.
Excellent instructional video. Clear & concise, step-by-step review of features with good quality video of camera up close. Looking forward to additional videos.Thanks.
Thanks Rick ;)
hola me gusto mucho el tutoría de sonirx100vi es la que tengo no se como usarla , podrás hacerlo en español
Thanks for these GREAT videos! I am thinking of buying the RX100VA but really need to know beforehand if I can use the ND filter in manual mode, i.e. use the ND filter with a fast shutter speed... I know, I know it sounds crazy but that is what I need :-) Many thanks!
Yes, based on what I am seeing you can have it on Auto, Always On, or Off:
MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [ND Filter] → desired setting.
Menu item details
Auto:
Automatically turns on the ND filter based on the shooting mode and brightness.
On:
Always uses [ND Filter].
Off:
Disables the [ND Filter] function.
Thanks very much for your response! Really love your channel. Great work!
@@Speendrift You're very welcome and thank you!
Hard to find on review videos a panorama mode, ..
I know some cameras won't have or require software assistance.
where is the factory reset button?
MENU → (Setup) → [Setting Reset] → desired setting. Initialize will reset every setting to factory default.
There really isn’t anything for the Sony RX 100 V that I can find on TH-cam in terms of setting up Still photography for optimum image quality. Most of it is for video set up. Not sure why. Have you done any videos on the RX 100 V set up for optimal quality?
Well, photography with a point and shoot is a bit simpler than video I suppose ;) Also, the depth of field is not that much on the 1" sensor cameras it often does not matter as much what aperture your at and so fourth. I would recommend shooting raw and exposing for the highlights when the situation arises. You can recover shadows easier than highlights in post. Make sure your shutter speed is fast enough for whatever you're shooting if freezing the action is required. Be sure to use a tripod and self timer for slower shutter speeds if you want to blur the action or just get the sharpest shot possible. The rest would really be composition which is a art in itself... I can't really think of any other settings I would change to alter my photos or make them better. I hope that helps, Jay
SonyAlphaLab Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. Maybe in the future you might want to consider discussing still Photography. Settings on the RX100
Perhaps you would enjoy reading an article where I used the RX100 VII for a hiking adventure and took tons of photos with some explanation on the methods. www.sonyalphalab.com/sony-rx100-vii-best-camera-for-hiking-and-travel/
SonyAlphaLab . Ok sure. Thanks.
Jay, Great help! I am having a problem getting the camera to connect to my Iphone. Can you explain the WiFi and Bluetooth setups sometime? Thank Again!
same here - many options and manual is really no help.
How do I send you a question?
You can ask right here :)
Very good guide for my camera !
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the comments :)
Very helpfull, thanks
You're welcome!
Software: load only on PC? Or only on Tablet? Or only on phone? Or all three? I can't tell from instructions.
Nice Video very detailed. I have a question though, you think this Camera is capable of Maternity Shots as my wife is pregnant?
Yes, absolutely. Any camera is capable of maternity shots though. Do you want to use studio lights or something?
@@Jason_Hermann Not really. We may just shoot outside. Possible in a park. I am just an average user and I might just use the SCENE modes of this camera. But if you have any suggested settings for the camera for a decent maternity shoot, I am happy to try it. Thank you for your reply by the way.
I think the camera will do a fine job for you ;) The look I particularly like is when the subject is separated from the background as much as possible. That makes the images look 3d and really emphasizes the subject. To do that with the RX100 VI you would really need to have the background as far away as possible from your wife. You can then zoom in to 200mm and walk backwards until you have the shot framed how you like. As long as the background is really far from your wife, it should blur or pretty good. You can also use some of the picture effects to add some drama if you want. I would play around with those in advance so you can get an idea on which ones you want to use if any.
I will take note of that. Thank you so much @@Jason_Hermann !!!!
Awesome video. So how well does this camera (or any camera) do when shooting a video, and lets say it’s in Auto, Program, or Aperture mode and the camera has to pick a shutter speed... does it pick a shutter speed that obeys the 180 degree shutter speed rule, or is it close to that? What about when zooming out, does it keep the shutter speed close to the 180 rule, or goes the shutter speed increase as if its following the focal length rule.
It’s always perplexed me on why these cameras don’t have a menu option to force the 180 degree rule (if possible to obtain). It could basically use the shutter Priority logic, and force the shutter speed to be 1 / 2 x FPS
Hey Thanks Dude! This is great little video that I think is going to save a couple hours of dickin around. Kudos, Gracias, and/or I owe you a beer!

I recently got the RX100m3, just found this video and Your chanel, very informative and helpful, thanks
Great video 🙌🏼 and love how the links is in the description for the other videos. You making it real easy to learn.
Thanks Denzel ;) I really appreciate the comments and feedback on the links!!
Hey @JaySonyAlphaLab Thanks for making these videos on the Sony RX100 line. I find them to be very informative as well as the production value is done very well. I've been trying to understand my new Rx100 VA better but I haven't found much on youtube for it. Would you mind giving some advice on if I should ascribe the RX100 V videos info for the VA, or would it be closer to the VI due to the updates that were given to the VA. Thanks
Hi! Do you know how to turn on the "soft skin" effect when filming? It only seems to be available for still shots. Thank you so much!
You can't with this camera.
Thank you for your video. When I go into the movie mode it tellsmeeither switch toUHS-IU3 or change record settings.What does this mean? What do I need to do?
Hi John, It sounds like you need a better faster memory card to record in 4k video quality. I have this affordable SanDisk 64GB SDXC card (amzn.to/2Wwe5e3) and it works awesome! If you can’t get a new card and still want to record, you will need to change the settings to 1080 @ 24, 30, or 60 frames per second. 1080 @ 120 frames per second and 4k require the faster card.
I hope that helps,
Jay
I remember the great compact Olympus camera xt3 sensor 1984 .Sony is the same compact and smart camera at this time

Awesome tutorial! I've had this camera for four months now,and have taken some great shots. Perfect for what my my particular camera usage needs are. This video will definitely help improve on my knowledge of using this camera. Thanksagain!
I just got this camera and I only have 25, 50 and 100 fps available. How can I get 30, 60 and 120 fps?? Thanks!
Hello, you will need to change the camera from PAL to NTSC regional mode. MENU → (Setup) → [NTSC/PAL Selector] → [Enter]
Best RX 100 VI Guild ever, Just brought one, and been disappointed, looking thigh the menu to try and find something, killing. I ended up use my note 8 phone instead sick I really learnt so much, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am not such a fool.
I'm really glad the guide helped you out! Be sure to practice using various settings and you will have the camera functions down in no time ;)
How can I shoot in black and white on rx100v?
hello, hello, ihave a question sandisk 128gb sd card supported? thanks
Yes, but you will want the SDXC for 4k video support. See here: bhpho.to/2Gp3lUw
Thank you so much! This is really helpful! I do have a question. When I review a photo and then click on Fn, depending on the photos, sometimes they have some black or white flash on the image. What does supposed to mean? Have you ever encountered that?
Yes, I believe what you are describing is the camera showing you where the blown highlights and shadows are. In other words, the actual black and white parts of the image. This helpful for exposure adjustments if you are trying to capture more detail in either the highlights or the shadow. If you see blinking in one or the other, you can then adjust the camera to fine tune the exposure as desired.
