Photos app - Smart folder not working

Hi,


I'm trying to find specific photos in my library based on camera model and have created a new Smart Folder in Photos. However, this doesn't return any photos and I can't see what's wrong. Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions to troubleshoot / solve?




Thanks!

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Figured it out! (User error)


The Smart Album selection box for camera model is a drop down box and will show all the camera models Photos is aware of. The Huawei devices I had are known as: EVA-L09 or VKY-L09. Once selected the required photos are displayed.
