How to output tag values as is (signed integer)

Hi,
excuse me, I'm very new to ExifTool.

I'm looking for an option to disable the conversion of (stored) rational values to float.
E.g. the Panasonic Distortion parameters are stored as a rational numbers with an implied denominator of 32768.
I'd prefer to just see the numerator as a signed integer value.

Many thanks for being patient.
Helmut.

You can see the rational in the -v option output, but short of creating a user-defined tag, or doing some fancy formatting with the -p option, you can't see this in the normal ExifTool output.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Many thanks,
even if this is a bit sad.
