The correct UniqueCameraModelRestriction value for the E-M5II is "Olympus E-M5 Mark II".

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.

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

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

I put together some instructions, as well as a list of terminal commands that can be used to make copies (untwisted or not) of E-M5I VSCO camera profiles for use with the E-M5II.

With minor modifications, the commands can also be used to make copies of existing VSCO profiles for any camera that work with just about any other camera (so you could use something other than the E-M5I profiles as the basis for the copies, and you could generate final copies that work with a camera other than the E-M5II).

You can decide whether or not you want to create 'untwisted' copies of the original profiles or not - the instructions cover both options.

Hope someone finds this useful. Feel free to leave a comment here or shoot me a private message if you have questions or run into any issues along the way.
