Title: how do I move raw files that were shot at a particular ISO?

Sorry for the newbie question but I'd like to move to a new folder a subset of raw files that match a specific ISO. Can anyone point me to the right syntax?

thanks

Try
exiftool -if "$ISO==800" -Directory=/path/to/moved/ /path/to/source/
Replace 800 with the actual ISO you're looking for. You can also use Less/Greater than </>, e.g. "$ISO>200".
Replace /path/to/moved/ and /path/to/source/ with the actual paths.

This command creates backup files. Add -Overwrite_Original (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#overwrite_original) to suppress the creation of backup files. Add -r (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#r-.--recurse) to recurse into subdirectories. If on Mac/Linux, change double quotes to single quotes (and vice versa).

This command creates backup files.

It shouldn't, because no "real" tags are being written. So -overwrite_original shouldn't be necessary.
