Unlock The Power Blinkies To Improve Your Photography 

Steve is the best. This isn't just for the field, a good idea is to review and analyze your pictures, blinkies and histograms on your camera when you're back home.

Yeah, Steve Perry posted a new video! Your videos are always very informative, Steve.

Thanks Steve I have both of your books they are awesome. I have been into photography for over 40 years and the book has taught me so much to the digital age and all of the features of my camera. Keep it up and love your videos. My photography has really gotten so much better.

Yes, I'm one of those who thought I knew all about blinkies! Thanks, Steve, for getting into the nitty gritty. Love your videos!

I'm completely amazed by it. I never knew there was this much to know about those blinkies and how it could be a way to check exposure. Your tips are the most practical and useful. Thank you so much for these videos!!! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Steve. Just finished your secrets to Nikon focusing and wow what a difference. Me and my D7500 are friends now. While I’m not a seasoned pro yet at least now I get far more keepers. I would honestly recommend this to anyone that struggles with focus.

Steve, I appreciate what you do. Lots and lots of good stuff. Being a life long Nikon guy (D7500, D500, D800) I find your work especially good and relevant to me. You have made me a better photographer. I feel guilty for not having purchased your book. I will do it today.

Like you energy, enthusiasm and all the info you manage to present expediently. Good job!

Very informative video as always. Never knew there was so much to blinkies. Thanks, Steve!

Thanks Steve. Yet another excellent video ... :-) By far the best RU-vid channel on the technical aspects of photography.

The BEST photography teacher out there! Thanks Steve

THANK YOU ! one of the most comprehensive vids i've see on controlling clipping using multiple methods. and fwiw, i've been shooting many years, but still learning new stuff all the time ;-)

As usual, powerful, and really useful in-depth tips. One never lose time watching Steve Perry's videos !

Very informative Steve, as beginners we really appreciate the tips that you you render from time to time on the RU-vid. Thanks

This tutorial is amazing Steve! Big game changer, thank you very much.

Once again you masterfully explain issues so us mere humans can understand! Keep it going! Thanks!

Once again Steve, you make a video that is useful, underappreciated in importance, and with your typical attention to detail. In my personal experience over the last year, I was finding myself watching "blinkies" more closely than the histogram to alert me for overexposure. For all the reasons you mention, I found it more reliable. I did not realize the information you could gain by looking at the channel information (so thank you for this). Very helpful video, Steve again!

Mind blown about using the blinkies for individual colour channels. Your books are the best I have found for settings and usage of our cameras. Thanks Steve for another informative video!

Thanks so much Steve! This is very helpful! Love your videos and books!

Thanks Steve, I knew what the "blinkies"were, but I didn't know the three colour channels had their own blinkies... Thanks for that Steve, great vid...

Always a pleasure! Always informative. Thanks again!!!

Steve, thanks for the invaluable tutorials. You are a great instructor and have made my life with my D500 and D850 soooo much better. You da Man !

So informative as usual Steve. Just like your books. Thank you so much.

I love your channel. I just finished your wildlife book which was fantastic. I learned so much. Thank you.

Wow! Lots of great info Steve, Thanks for posting.

another high-end quality video, Steve! keep going

Thank you very much for the information. As usual you help me in my adventure to learn what is going on in the camera and how to shoot better with it

The Master does it again........thanks for your informative uploads....

Great info as usual. Much new information that i didn't know. And it is immediately applicable and practical.

Thank you for your valuable information about the Brinking sign.

Always great info! Thanks, Steve.

Great video. I did't knew I could see blinkies in separate channels, that's a great find!

Steve, this video is the best ever! I don't know whether you are getting better explaining or I'm getting better at understanding. :-) Seriously, I bought your "Secretes," and read the blinkie section, but I wasn't aware of just how important blinkies are, so I glossed over it. There is nothing like your fine instruction! Interestingly, before I started this video, I grabbed my D500 so I could follow along. The blinkies were completely turned off. Then I picked up my D750 and they were on. But, since I never knew the real importance of them, I never moved the joystick to even turn on the blinked, let alone the RGB blinkies. I'll be out tomorrow shooting with blinkies ON, and practice until they get as automatic as back-button focusing... again... thanks to you. Before that video, I didn't even know there was a BB focus. Now, I never turn it off. Double thumbs up!

Been shooting Nikon's since the D70 and never knew about changing RGB channel blinkies with the selector. Very useful. Great video Steve.

Thanks so much Steve, great information.

Thanks that explained a lot. I just came across the " blinkies" for the first time this weekend and was wondering what was going on. Somehow or another I enabled that feature, but glad I did now. You did a great job explaining.

Very informative and helpful, Steve. Thanks!

As always very helpful. Thanks Steve.

Thanks Steve I always wondered what these were called.. sounds like new sugary Cereal name from the 70's. I eagerly wait for your every video. Always great stuff.

Thanks, Steve always learn something by watching videos

Thanks Steve. I didn't know about rotating between RGB highlights. Really useful and can't wait to try it out.

You are so clear! Thank you! ☺️

You always give us great tips, Steve.

Merry Christmas Steve. Keep up the great work Sir.

Great video and very informative! Will try those settings out on my d850 and d5 as well.

Great video with a lot of top notch information!

best wildlife photography channel and cameras gear channel for Nikon users!

Excellent Steve! Thank You Jim

Steve really love your content. You have helped me become a better photographer thank you

Amazing. Always learn something from your videos

I've just found your channel and am enjoying some of the best instructional videos I've watched so far. So much to learn, so little time ... ;-)

Great and useful information, as always.

Super interesting. Congrats and Thanks for this video

Excellent information. Thank you!

Very nice and to the point information. Learned everything about Blinkies.

Great explanation and some new info about using this feature. Use it a lot but usually as a stand alone display, not with the RGB display as I was unaware that was available. Thanks!

I never knew that trick to look at the individual color channels to check for blinkies in each. Thanks!

So useful. Thanks as always!

Thanks Steve!!! Great explanation!!!

Awesome explanation! Thanks!

Very well explained. Thank you.

Excellent as usual, guess I'll be buying another of your eBooks. Your viewers should know that simply by pressing the Select RGB box under the histogram that it cycles through the individual channels same as the button on left you mention. Since I'm heading to the SW Utah National Parks next month knowing about the red clipping is invaluable!

Thanks Steve always learn something.

Thanks for another great video.

Thank you for the beneficial information 👍🏼

My favorite photography youtuber

Thank you! Very useful! I learned something. 👍

Thanks for the tips bud !!

Very informative... and helps the learning curve ! Thank you ! :- )

Precious! The book is enticing...

Love it. I am going to set that up right now. I think that will help me more. I am not to shabby but I do blow it when it comes to bright whites and such because I like clouds... I tend to NOT shoot on bright days ... I am better as a night or moody photographer. Now I see why

Thank you Steve ... amazing

Very instructive Thankyou

Excellent video Steve

Yes, please talk about deliberate underexposure ... been meaning to learn if it's really something we should be doing!

Awesome video!

Thank you! Great tip!

I've been a photographer for the last 15 years and have been thought to always use my eyes and manual mode. I started out shooting weddings, and i didn't have time to look at histograms. I would always take a shot, check my blinkies, underexpose and than continue. I always felt bad for not knowing what a histogram is, or felt lazy because i didn't know half of the camera's functions.. all this, while taking good photos and doing actual work. It took me so many years to realise that i knew what i needed and didn't need to know everything. With this being said, always use blinkies, always underexpose, and don't trust your autofocus system all the time, take a few more photos just to be sure, of the same thing while refocusing. I use a nikon d810 to great effect, i also shoot commercial video with it and am as happy as i could be with this gear. Always trust the advices of Steve Perry!! everything he says checks out and has no annoying filler content. Many thanks for the tremendous amounts of value you gave me with your knowledge! much love!

thanks Steve, just call me "in the dark" till I watched this video, I honestly had no idea why some of my images had this "flashing bit " in them, after watching your video, i now understand, only had my digital camera 2 1/2 years and still learning it, with your help its much smoother,

Great info here, wasnt aware of the individual channel blinkies

Thanks!!! Helpful!!!

Great video!

Thanks this was very Helpful

Outstanding

Very useful information like always Steve! I have your book "secrets to nikon exposure metering", i read it and is a ton of useful information very wel explained. I actually have al of your 3 ebooks :) and i hope you're working on the 4th (for de ML Z6) :)

Greattt videooo

Great video

Great video as usual Steve, Just set my D850, D5 and D500 to match your settings! Will be using the Blinky method over the Histogram way now! Thanks for the tips buddy :-)

"I already know about that" -> click on the video anyway -> still learn something. Thanks Sir Perry!

I'm gonna go ahead and bookmark this video

This man is a national treasure.

Good info.. 😁👍

Thank you Steve

good as usual

You're the best full stop

Quite useful.

Great vid. On Sony I use zebras. Lower Limit 100+ for JPEG; Lower Limit 107+ for raw.

As usual, very well done. One aspect you didn't mention, if you're shooting mirrorless you can enable the viewfinder to show the blinkies. Nice part is you're out shooting and you can change the EV in real time, you don't have to take a shot and chimp. Its one area where a mirrorless has an advantage over a DSLR, you can get the right exposure much quicker.

Thanks Steve

Awesome
