This is how I see it working for me. When the Exposer Simulation is set to ENABLE I see the expected image exposure value in the screen and viewfinder (no blinking just the anticipated exposure). Blinking highlights are not necessary. When ExpSim is set to DISABLE, the image on the screen and in the viewfinder will brighten as necessary to allow the camera to achieve focus in low light conditions. Additionally, when the ExpSim is set to DISABLE, and you try and view an overexposed condition the screen will dim so you can see more detail. When you take the shot, the overexposure will show the blinking areas to indicate the overexposure. In essence, with ExpSim set to ENABLE you are viewing the anticipated exposure before you press the shutter. You should be able to see where the overexposure will occur on the screen in the ExpSim set to ENABLE mode and adjust your exposure accordingly before capturing the image.That’s not the same. Those are seen in the preview when the picture is already taken.
This is how it works for me. I just tested this again to confirm this so as I said, with ExpSim set to ENABLE you are looking at the anticipated exposure on the screen and should be able to adjust your exposure as necessary before pressing the shutter. Not sure that having the "Zebra Stripes" blinking is necessary in photo mode. JMHO
