Hello! This isn't a question but more just sharing info.
I'm happy to say that I found MOST of my answer from a forum thread posted here from 2014.
Just wanted to share in case anyone is interested!
On Canon cameras, there is a RATE button on the back. (other cameras might also have the same, I'm not sure). You can review your images in camera and give them a rating (1-5 stars).
I struggled to figure out how to get those stars to translate into Lightroom when importing. Here's what I found:
When recording to DUAL CARDS, only one of the cards records the rating. On my Canon R6, it's the card closer to the lens, and slightly higher. (If you have a single slot camera, I guess it applies it to the one card).
When importing, if you use an import preset (for example, my LR is set up to apply copyright info to all imported images), you MUST UNCHECK "RATING" in the Basic Info metadata box.
I think that's it! If you already knew this then you're smarter than me! haha But if you didn't, now you do!
