I have a Fujifilm X-T30. When I press the shutter halfway, the potentially overexposed parts of the frame are flickering white.
So far I could not be able the set it on the Z50.
Is it possible that it is not available or I just don't know how to activate this feature that I find very useful.
Thanks.

From what I found online, Nikon disabled zebras, which is a form of highlight warning prior to the shot, for still photos.

Thanks, E.J. Too bad.
In movie mode the zebras are available but I never shoot movies.

Yea it is stupid.  On the Sony's you can get both blinking highlights, blinking lowlights, zebras, and focus peaking simultaneously in the viewfinder prior to the shot even for still photography.  On Fuji and Olympus you can get all but the zebras simultaneously for still photography.  not sure about Canon.  Nikon is the worst in this regard.  they still haven't fully figured out that it's a mirrorless camera and can give you everything prior to the shot.  Their cameras are still a bit more stuck in a DSLR way of thinking than most of the others.

Solution could be as simple as some modification of the firmware.
