I figured that out by using dcptool to decompile one of the Adobe camera-specific profiles for the E-M5II and checking the value there. Still not sure whether or not there's an easier way to determine the correct value for an arbitrary camera - whether or not there's a master list of these, for example.

Great sleuthing! My first thought when reading your prior message is that I'd find it in the EXIF metadata that's attached to the image, but there's isn't a clear answer there. The model of the camera is there, but I can't see any combination of fields that would yield a reliable value for the .dcp file.

I'm not sure who chooses the DNG name for each camera model. I read up on that in the DNG specification, where they give some rules about how to come up with a name, but they don't say who's responsible for that or give clear instructions on how to determine the DNG camera model name from existing information.

Just out of curiosity, what are the values for "Make" and "Model" in your image metadata?

Mine is "OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP." and "E-PL5".

For the E-M5 II, the values are as follows:
Make: OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP.
Model: E-M5MarkII

So there's no way to reliably get from those to the DNG UniqueCameraModelRestriction value, which is "Olympus E-M5 Mark II".

Weird.
