How to See Your Camera Settings in the Develop Module in Lightroom Classic

You know I love a good keyboard shortcut! Here’s one for when you want to see the image info overlay in the Develop module. It’s quick and easy to remember too!

Ever wish you could quickly check your camera settings without leaving the Develop module in Lightroom Classic? There’s a quick keyboard shortcut that makes it super-easy.

The Hidden Image Info Overlay in the Develop Module

By default, Lightroom doesn’t display the image information overlay (that can show you things like camera make/model, focal length, shutter speed, etc.) when you’re in the Develop module. But it’s there—all you have to do is turn it on.

The Shortcut: Press the “I” Key

All you need to do is press the I key on your keyboard:

  • Press once: Overlay appears with the information set for Loupe 1.

  • Press again: You’ll see a second overlay with the information for Loupe 2.

  • Press a third time: The overlay disappears.

You can toggle through these views as often as you want.

Customize What You See

Want to adjust what information appears with this shortcut?

Go to the top menu and choose:
View → View Options

You can set different info to display for Loupe Info 1 and Loupe Info 2—really great if you want quick access to different details.

How I Use This

I use this specifically to see the camera make/model and the focal length—which is really useful when editing images shot on a zoom lens. 

When the Image Information overlay is turned on, it also shows it in Reference View for both images. This helps tell me when I copy the settings from the reference image, how it might change if the camera or lens is different on the image I’m editing.
