Nest converts first letter of field to lowercase in query

NEST converts the first letter of the field name to lowercase??? See the code below. Why does NEST translate "SceneText" into "sceneText"?

                var searchResponse = _EsClientDAL.Current.Search<DTO.RiAll>(s => s
                    .Query(q => q
                    .Match(m => m
                        .Field(f => f.SceneText)
                        .Query(queryString))
                ));

Valid NEST response built from a successful low level call on POST: /ri/RiAll/_search

Audit trail of this API call:

Request:

{"query":{"match":{"sceneText":{"query":"hide"}}}}

Response:

{"took":2,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":1,"successful":1,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":[]}}

This is not an issue but expected behaviour.

By default, NEST camel cases the property names on the POCO when serializing the POCO into a JSON document to send to Elasticsearch. You can change this behaviour by using the .DefaultFieldNameInferrer(Func<string,string>) method on ConnectionSettings. Take a look at the documentation for more details.
