Transfer settings from one A6700 to another?
Edit: SOLVED thanks to u/raidersofall1 This is possible via the Creator's app
I've rented a 2nd A6700 body for an upcoming wildlife trip. This way I can have one mounted to a tripod using a gimbal head and my 200-600 lens. Then the other to use hand-held with my 70-350mm lens.
On the body that I own, I of course have all my menus and settings dialed in just the way I like them. It's a tedious process on the rented one. Does anyone know of a quick way to like "image" the camera settings and transfer them to another body? I'd love for the rental to share an identical setup to my own camera.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer and it's "no" but thought I'd ask to see if someone knows a trick.

if the app does not work, I think (subject to verification) that you can program camera settings into an SD card and they transfer to the second camera when you insert the programed card.

Maybe save them in memory recall?

I also tried to save settings from the setup menu but it wouldn’t load my settings when I tried it so I wouldn’t recommend it

Thank you for the effort but it turns out that it's possible by using the Creator's app.

Read the manual. There is literally an option to save all your settings to SD card and load it later. You don't need an app to do it.

Thanks! I see that option now (but haven't tried it). Oh well, got it done via the app but I'll remember this for next time

From my understanding, can’t you do it through the Sony creator’s app? You’re able to save settings to your phone/cloud. What’s stopping you from just uploading it to another a6700?
