    So, just tried it R7, Sigma 18-35, dim living room with stand-lights near walls.

    Off: Lightroom shows ISO 3200.
    D+: Lightroom shows ISO 2500.
    D+2: Lightroom shows ISO 1600.

    Image are progressively darker in Lightroom, so it's not applying a curve, or boosting exposure.

    Setting D+ image to expose +0.4 looks the same as off. This can be setup easily as a preset.
    Setting D+2 image to expose +1.0 looks the same as off. This can be setup easily as a preset.

    Turning down exposure to see highlight clipping.


    Off: Significant clipping.
    D+: Clipping at brightest spot
    D+2: No Clipping

    So, it does what it says on the tin. Would be nice if Lightroom could automatically apply a curve or simple default exposure adjustment.
