Nothing wrong with anti-theft features.

Why need face ID (or any face unlock)? Useless when waist-level shooting.

I think most of us are suggesting a once/24hr (or similar) authentication, not shot-by-shot. facial recognition is probably a step too far anyway, but not because of waist-level shooting.

When once/24hr (or similar) authentication required? Are it will popup suddenly during photography or playback? Seem like a bit annoying.

Surely it would be the first time you turn on the camera more than 24hours (or whatever) after it was last authenticated. No need to interrupt anything.

If integrate finger print sensor into shutter button, camera can turn on without on-off switch.

• When camera turn off, half pressed shutter with valid fingers (authentication less than 0.1 second) will auto turn on camera.
• Since finger sensor integrate into shutter button, theft didn't notice it.
• After camera turn on, no require scan finger print again.

No thanks. It means no threaded shutter button, and that the shutter button must have a glossy surface. And it doesn’t work with gloves, sweaty fingers, etc.

Personally I don’t feel there’s much need to lock a camera (encrypting the data on the card might be a more interesting idea) but a shutter button fingerprint reader has downsides even if you never use it.
