I don't have the 50D Macca, but it almost sounds like clipping - over and under-exposed areas. Is there a setting on the camera that you can turn on or off for this?

[macmich]

thanks for that cheryl i shall look for the setting and try to find the manual and see if that fixes it

"Blinkies" - i think he is using the term to decribe what you are seeing . ie blinking pixels. These are highlighting areas of you photo that are either under or over exposed . therfore highlighting areas of you photo that there is too liitle or too much light and therefore have issues if you want to PP (Post Process) or may also have issues on printing
