Are you sure about that?
Thanks for that. I changed the wording.
My D780 supports it but my D5600 does not

What happens when you change cards? Is there a way to copy the settings to other cards?

You have to save the settings ot the card and then restore the settings from the card. You can even email the settings to someone else so they can load their camera with the same settings.

You need to buy as small as you can find GB card. I had some laying around that were 32 Mb. Hardly useful for anything today but more than enough room for a Kb file from your camera.
Put it in your camera, copy settings, remove it from your camera and stash it somewhere it will be safe.
(jewelry box or safe)
When you need to re-set your camera or just messed up some settings you can install it and download your settings from the card.

Some cameras have a C1, C2, or C3 setting which instantaneously adjusts the setting to, for example, photograph flowers with minimal background depth of field [Bokeh], freezing movement, and daylight fill-flash to minimize sunlight effects.
Jerry's reference discusses for Sony 7 cameras for SD cards, but why complicate matters if one has C settings:

I suggest to Newbies to carry 3x5 cards with starting settings for situations, portrait, macro, distant buildings, etc. Remember KIS, keep it simple.

Of course. It would be no different then copying any other file from one card to another, or to your laptop, desktop, memory stick, etc, etc.......

Yes, some cameras can memorize several sets of settings. The idea of the SD card is to put those "memories" in another location in case the camera forgets.

You just save them again. One quick button press.
Just be aware that when you format the card in the camera, the file gets erased as part of the process. Easy to save it again...just have to remember to do it.
Also...some of the custom settings don't get saved...like Picture Control adjustments and additional PC setups.
Don't the settings travel along, at least with unedited pix, with the EXIF?
