Metadata not changed, what do I do wrong

[Roland]

Hi guys, what do I do wrong? File is not write protected. I'm on MacOS Ventura 13.0.1.

Getting not errors from exiftool.

% echo $fn                                                   
DSC00234-20220706-174253.ARW
% exiftool -Model="ILCE-TEST" $fn ; wait; exiftool -Model $fn
    1 image files updated
Camera Model Name               : ILCE-1

Appreciate any help!

This is likely FAQ 3.  For some reason Sony duplicates Model in IFD1 (whereas it should only be in IFD0).

ExifTool writes Model to IFD0 by default unless another IFD is specified.

However, ExifTool should also prioritize IFD0 when reading, and I don't see the effect you observe with the current version of ExifTool (12.52).  What version of ExifTool are you using (exiftool -ver)?
