my kit: K3, K5, K-01, DA 18-55, D-FA50 macro, Siggy 30/1.4, 100-300/f4, 70-200/2.8, Samsung 12-24/f4, Tamron 17-50, and lots of other bits.
Therefore took a series of shots on same settings, except for the exposure adjustment, and the following is the result :
Adjustment Lightroon
- 1.5 + 1.5
0 0
+1 0
+0.5 0
- 0.5 + 0.55
I have looked and looked at the Lightroom download screen, but can find nothing to suggest that Lightroom is adding or subtracting to the exposure compensation l have dialled into the K5.
Me, l'm baffled ( but that's normally quite easily done anyway).
Any ideas ?

The Lightroom readings should be :
+ 1.5
0
0
0
+ 0.55

I have the K5 set to shoot at -1.5 exposure. The camera shows me on the top plate that it is adjusted to -1.5, and when l press the info button, it likewise shows me it is shooting at -1.5.
The problem appears to occur when l download the image onto the computer in Lightroom - the image never shows that it has been shot at -.1.5. More often than not it is showing within Lightroom an exposure value in the plus range.
Am l doing something wrong with the K5, or is Lightroom overriding the K5 settings and doing what it pleases. I should mention here that l always shoot RAW.
