That's a great thing to know about Paul.

As already explained it's showing highlight clipping.

The fix for that is learning how to use Exposure Compensation on your camera.


If you're using full automatic EC probably won't work.

If you're shooting Programmable it probably will.


Ideally you're shooting aperture preferred and RAW.

Rule of thumb is to expose for the highlights because it's very likely the important details of most shots are in the highlights and not in the shadow.


Next time you're out shooting take your shot and look for clipping.

If you see it, use exposure compensation and adjust to -1/3 or -1/2 and try again.


Keep adjusting until you loose most or all of the clipping (blinking).

-1 or -1½ or more isn't unreasonable in some situations.


It may looked a bit underexposed in the camera preview but you'll be able to bring it all back in ACR.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
