Clipping

Out of curiosity how many users here have checked the option to show when clipping is likely to occur?

Yes - I use the histogram, but the clipping shows exactly which parts of the image are at risk - it it's just the sun, lamps, or specular reflections then I know whether to be worried or not.

Exactly. Not when, that is the histogram, but where.

I have it enabled, I think it's a very good option. My Canon R6 doesn't have it and I already miss it.

I have it enabled, but I only check on it in extreme contrast situations which the highlight-weighted exposure mode may not be able to handle.

I have this enabled too which I find helpful in some situations

I use it often and adjust with exposure compensation according to the histogram, mostly for skies.  I've started using spot metering more with the AE-L function and that seems to balance the overall exposure a little better.
