Air3S 70mm lens - missing zoom/crop information when importing into LR

Video and Photo Editing

I noticed this weekend that sets of images I shot using the 70mm camera at all three different zoom settings (3x, 6x, 9x) were looking completely different in appearance when I import them into LightRoom. If I look at the .dng files in File Explorer before importing, they appear as expected with the correct zoom/crop showing, but once I import them into LightRoom, they lose their zoom/crop appearance. It is most mystifying as I have not seen this type of behaviour happening before (when using my Mini 3 Pro), but it has happened at least three times now in the past few days and I am completely stumped as to what is causing it. Any clues as to what might be happening?

These two thumbnail images are what I see straight after downloading from the SD card into Windows File Explorer

This is what the .DNG appears like once it is imported into LightRoom Classic

Awwww, feck, I see it now, you only get the zoomed in/framed image as a jpeg. The raw reverts to the whole sensor. Well, whilst that is not what I was expecting to discover, I can now work knowing that I have to post-edit it to achieve the final crop. I truly thought I was losing it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
