Hello,
I use exiftool to filter the information.
For the ShutterMode item (images from an EOS R5 and other EOS cameras), I can see "Shutter Mode" in the full listing (phrase  -separator -e -w txt ).
If I only want specific items to be reported and I enter e.g. -Make -Model -MeteringMode -ApertureValue -ExposureTime -ShutterMode -LensModel, I get all items listed except Shutter Mode.
The phrase I use is:
-all= -tagsFromFile @ -Make -Model -MeteringMode -ApertureValue -ExposureTime -ShutterMode -LensModel

Item "Shutter Mode" is always lost, the others are there.

What can be the cause here.
exiftool 12.44 (and few older too). OS - Windows (Versions -  XP, 7, 10, 11)

Thank you for your help!

I believe ShutterMode is a proprietary MakerNotes tag. MakerNotes tags cannot be copied individually, only as a block.  See FAQ #23, the sentence starting "Also note that..."

Use the command in FAQ #3 to see what group it belongs to.  If it says something like [Canon], then it cannot be copied individually.
"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

It's a real shame, but sometimes you have to live with what you get and not what you want.
Thank you very much!

You could copy ShutterMode to another tag if you wanted, or even create a user-defined XMP tag called ShutterMode and copy it to that.
