How to find photos/videos that have a time zone?

"Error: File not found - —r"

You need to use a normal "-", not some funny Unicode character.

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your answer, I really think I used the "-" char, unfortunately ExifTool displays this error message systematically even if the files are updated. I am sure this is the right "-" I used in the command...
I uploaded a picture so you can see

Thank you for your help

Depending on the font, you can't always see the difference between - (hyphen) and — (em dash).  In your post, you pasted —r (em dash r), which is wrong, so you won't get the recursion as if -r (hyphen r) was used, and you will get the error message for a "—r" (em dash r) file not found.

You are right, it was the font! Thank you very much, Phil

I was far from imagining that a font could confuse two drastically different characters
