Project: highlight clipping

One of the potentially unpleasant effects of the linear way the sensors collect light is that at the brightest end there is a point at which suddently the tones go pure, featureless white.

If the highlight is a naked light such as the sun or a bare bulb, this will be unavoidable, but in most other picture situations, the warning should be heeded with a second shot with a slightly darker exposure.
