Accessing some (deeper?) maker notes tags

If I try to access a maker notes tag that shows up in a basic query, eg.

-exiftool -G -s -makernotes:all

[MakerNotes]    SerialNumber                    : 5730651
[MakerNotes]    OriginalFileName                : L1000823.DNG
[MakerNotes]    OriginalDirectory               : 100LEICA
[MakerNotes]    FocusDistance                   : 1.971 m
[MakerNotes]    FileIndex                       : 823
[MakerNotes]    FilmMode                        : Standard
[MakerNotes]    WB_RGBLevels                    : 0.4954039671 1 0.4869234427
[MakerNotes]    InternalSerialNumber            : (XJL) 2023:11:18 no. 0104


I can retrieve its value, eg.
-exiftool -makernotes:filmmode < some file >

Film Mode                       : Standard


However the additional maker notes I see using the following command do not appear to be accessible directly:

exiftool -ee3 -U -G -s -api requestall=3

[MakerNotes]    Leica_ShotInfo_0x0002           : 20
[MakerNotes]    Leica_ShotInfo_0x0003           : 15
[MakerNotes]    Leica_ShotInfo_0x0004           : 19
[MakerNotes]    Leica_ShotInfo_0x0005           : 15

Nothing is returned.



Is it possible to access such tags?

Thanks

The -U (-unknown2) option is needed

For example, try
exiftool -U -Leica_ShotInfo_0x0002 /path/to/files/

With my Nikon (there are a lot of unknown tags in this file)

"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
