I have a directory of photos. For the "Shooting Mode" metadata item, most have "Delay, PC Control", while some only have "PC Control". What exiftool command would I use to move all photos without "Delay" to a different directory? Thanks.

I'm unfamiliar with the "Shooting Mode" tag, so I can't give an exact command.  You need to get the actual tag name with
exiftool -G1 -a -s File.jpg

Once you figure out the name, replace TAG with that in this command
exiftool -if "$TAG!~/Delay/i" "-Directory=/path/to/new/directory/"
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
