Yes, I know about this and use it a lot especially when using the Zuiko

what
seem like blow-out or very black areas.

Many thanks for this; I've seen the entry in the menu but not played around
with it.
Also, thanks to Chuck for supplying a replacement Digest when mine got zapped /
went missing.
I just might have got out of bed the wrong side when I started replying to this
