P: Display camera Shutter Mode

[ronbyram]

In using LRC.. and looking at metadata, is there a selection to display how a photo was captured.. IE I use Canon R62  and wondered if a photo was taken as Mechanical or 1st Curtain or Electronic?  Do folks think that would be a needed option?  looking thru my photos I took this weekend at a airshow. I thought it would be a good option to see what the selection was chosen? Would this take a update to camera firmware so software could pickup the metadata?

While waiting for your request to be considered/implemented, have at look at the Metadata Viewer plugin by Jeffrey Friedl.

The EXIF industry standard doesn't provide a standard field in which to record the type of shutter, so manufacturers will record such non-standard information in the proprietary Makernotes metadata section. LR doesn't display Makernotes, but the Metadata Viewer plugin referenced by Ian does.  

Looking at my catalog of raw samples, the Canon EOS R6 II records this Makernotes field:

[MakerNotes] Shutter Mode : Mechanical

I have sample raws from 46 different Canons, and here's what's recorded for Shutter Mode:
