In other words, after theft stole your camera, the camera still can turn on/off without authentication (not yet reach 24 hours since last authentication). So, theft able sell to other people/shop without issue.

But

• they would have to do so within 24 hours
• or actually somewhat less, since they probably wouldn’t have stolen it mere seconds after it was unlocked
• and in any case this assumes a certain implementation—you yourself suggest the paired -device authentication process (using eg a watch or more likely a phone) which would mean the time period is irrelevant once the camera is moved away from its owners other devices, and any attempt to operate a stolen device would require reauthentication 

I apologise, I don’t understand that. But in any case, it’s quite straightforward to implement an authentication process that doesn’t interrupt operation.

All kind authentication method require extra steps of consumer :

• Face ID - require consumer look at Face ID camera
• Keyin password - require consumer key-in password via small screen
• Apple Watch - require pairing or link Apple Watch to camera.
• Finger print scanner - require put finger to shutter button.

The third of these isn’t an extra step at the point of unlocking the camera. My iPhone unlocks my watch without me entering a passcode into the watch; my watch unlocks my Mac without needing to enter a password into the Mac. Sure, I’ve had to previously register them all to my Apple ID, but once that’s done they can be unlocked with no further steps.

In any case, the discussion was more about not having to manually reauthenticate within a certain time period. Which is straightforward to do without having to interrupt the user’s actual task once authenticated (which was your original objection),

Anyway… I feel the discussion of this particular detail has gone down rather an unnecessary rabbit hole—shall we move on? 🙂
