red & yellow on playback K.50

Hi from the UK,
I have a Pentax K50 which I am getting to know, but very slowly.
I have changed a setting somewhere which is showing on playback highlighted red, yellow.
As with all instruction manuals they are written by people that know! Not people who have only just picked up the camera. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated on how I turn it off.
Thank you
David

I don't have a K-50 so I am not that sure how to turn it off, but what you are seeing is the result of a setting that shows you which area's of your photo are overexposed (red) and underexposed (yellow) which can be very helpful.

To switch it on or off, press menu, use the rear dial to scroll horizontaly to the playback tab with the triangle icon, use down button to go to bright/dark area.
There's a separate setting for instant review, after you just took the photo, in the 4th camera tab, instant review, then right arrow, down to bright/dark area.
I usually have this active, but not the aforementioned.

Hi David. On page 178 of your manual it explains what you are experiencing and how to turn it on or off. Good luck.

EDIT - sys3175 was quicker than me to reply.
