Vs-Code: Replace uppercase letter in words except first one with lowercase ones

Using Vs Code I would like to replace every 2nd uppercase letter in a word to the matching lowercase one only if the first 2 letters of the word are uppercase.

Example: LEtter would become Letter, but iOS, US or DNA would remain unchanged.

I figured using regular expressions and use the replace feature: the appropriate search string to use could be \s[A-Z][A-Z][a-z] (but probably this one doesn't work if I want to use it to replace stuff?). However, I don't know how to replace the 2nd letter then.

I am grateful for suggestions!

You can use the following regular expression Find/Replace with Match Case (Aa button)

Find: \b([A-Z])([A-Z])([a-z]+)\b

Replace: $1\l$2$3

In front of the $2 is a lowercase L

Group each part and convert the second capture group to lower case.
