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.

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.

There is always tension between security and convenience. I believe the “once/day” system to be the most reasonable — particularly if it will only “pop up” for authentication on the next power up. It requires only software — your idea needs a fingerprint sensor built-in to the shutter button. Cost and complexity. My solution can be implemented in firmware.

Again, if you’re shooting an event that requires uninterrupted access, disable the feature for the duration.
