Lightroom Extended Metadata

Is there any place in Lightroom to find "Exposure Program" e.g. Manual, Aperture, Shutter, etc. I know it shows in File Explorer Details tab but it would be cool if it showed in Lightroom along with the other metadata details. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place or I'm visually challenged. Thanks, Bob

In the LIBRARY MODULE, when you select an image, the METADATA panel on the right side shows the available metadata that Lightroom thinks is important. There are several settings or levels of data to be shown... If you select EXIF and IPCT you will get most of what you are looking for I believe.

See image below

There is also a handy plugin that will display every bit of EXIF info on the selected file:

I concur with this --- you just need to scroll through all of the options in the drop-down menu to find it.

Thank you so much for the prompt responses. It looks like the key link I overlooked was the little "double-arrow" drop down menu on the same line with Metadata. Opening this led to the discovery of the additional options (EXIF & IPTC) and I am now in business. Thanks, Bob
