Moving user profiles from SL2 to SL2-s

Over time I've developed user profiles on my SL2 for various shooting scenarios. I'd like to transfer these profiles to my SL2-s. I tried exporting them to the SL2 memory card, then importing them into the SL2-s but I get an error message ("Import Failed"). There's nothing wrong with the memory card (works in both cameras). Is there another way to move profiles between the SL2 and SL2-s than going through their menus a line at a time?

If it were me, I’d manually do the settings on the SL2-s. Use your SL2 as a guide to set up the various menus, then save that as profile. Nothing is easy. Will probably take 30 minutes.

Yes, you have to do this manually. The cameras have their own firmware and some small differences in the sub-menus (e.g. frame rate for burst shooting) that mean you cannot import from one to the other.

It's a bit of a hassle indeed but does not take so long

No, that is not possible. You must reformat a card before using it in another type of  camera and that wipes the profile file, which cannot be read anyway.

I was hoping maybe there was an easy way, perhaps via the USB port. I gave up and did it manually.
