Hi folks. I thought I used to see the highlight alert, (where a blown out section is in red on the screen) on the lcd when checking out a test shot. is this possible on my 5D2, or I am just thinking about only the same in DPp, and the only way to see highlights that are blown on camera is using the histogram?

I don't have a 5D2, but seeing as how I could do highlight alert on my 50D, I'd assume you can. Just go through the playback menus and you should find it.

Found it guys, thanks so much, I can;t believe it was right on one of the two blue menus, right in front of my face and I never saw it.
