Can someone tell me what I have done wrong? I am trying to return the Aperture and Shutter Speed. I am getting the Aperture but I am not getting a return on the ShutterSpeed. I checked Tag manager and all looks good. I don't think this has anything to do with the recent change mentioned in the release notes about EXIFTool.
I have attached my variables in the first attachment and what I get as a return on the second attachment in the custom file window.
Thanks you!

P.S. I did try this also
F {File.MD.Composite\Exif-Aperture\Aperture\0}; S{File.MD.Composite\Exif-ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0}
and I got back 0.02 on all my images (which is incorrect)
I also tried this with no luck
F {File.MD.Composite\Aperture\Aperture\0} {File.MD.Composite\ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|Value:formatted}
{File.MD.Composite\Exif-ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|value:formatted} works for me and returns e.g. 1/250. The tag name without the Exif- does not work. As explained here (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#upgrade_info_202092.htm?dl=h-2), there was a recent change in the Exiftool naming of Composite tag names.

Thanks for the response!! I just tried this
{File.MD.Composite\Exif-ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|value:formatted}
by itself and I get a return. However when I add this to it
F {File.MD.Composite\Aperture\Aperture\0} I do not get both the Shutter Speed and the Aperture.
ExifTool renamed Composite tags in a recent version. You need to use the correct tag names.
Tip: Use the Variable Selector to get the correct variable names (e.g. in the VarToy).

The
Exif- part has also be present for the Aperture, not only for ShutterSpeed. Therefore,
F {File.MD.Composite\Exif-Aperture\Aperture\0} {File.MD.Composite\Exif-ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|value:formatted}gives as result:
F 5.0 1/1000
This is what I use....
{File.MD.Composite\Exif-ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|value:formatted} sec - <Italic>f</Italic> {File.MD.Composite\Exif-aperture\Aperture\0|value:formatted}
displays e.g.: 1/320 sec - f8.0
Just swap them around if you prefer the aperture before the shutter.

Glad to be of service!
I recommend to use Metadata Tag ShortCodes (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#md_shortcodes.htm) where possible.
This shields your variables from changes in the underlying tag names.
For example: {File.MD.aperture} or {File.MD.shutterspeed}
