Hi Rob,
Exifmeta is a Great Plugin
I have found something strange:
One of Sony's Maker Tags is called 'Dynamic Range Optimizer' which may take a bunch of different values like 'Off' 'Auto' 'Lv1' 'Lv2' etc.
Exiftool displays the correct value but LR only displays either 'Off' for 'Off' or 'Standard' for all other values. How is this possible ?
Example: (search for Dynamic Range Optimizer)
