The camera has the ability to show blown out highlights. Thats what the blinking is. When viewing a picture on the LCD, press the dPad right or left a couple of times (up and down changes pictures, left-right changes information shown, like EXIF info, histograms, etc.). There are several modes of displaying the pics on the LCD. One is just plain, one is plane with a frame number, the next is plain with the DSC number and a little more info. Next is the EXIF data, then the Histogram. After that is blinking highlights display. As you left or right arrow through these modes you see they basically cycle around. Sadly, blinking highlights is right beside plain and unless you have blown out highlights, you really don't know which mode you are in. I tend to leave my camera in the mode where it shows just the frame number. Hope this helps.
