I successfully updated the R5 firmware from V2.1.0 to V2.2.0. I set a password but then selected the option to not prompt again. This worked exactly as advertised.

FYI, here's the Canon Canada (macOS) firmware download link for the original EOS R5 (not for R5 Mark II):

Updated for firmware version 2.2.0

It’s not always best to be compulsive!

Why would you want to set a password? It states a password is required, and I find that very worrying indeed for a camera.

It might be inconvenient, although once set you can tell it not to prompt every time the camera wakes up. But why would it be worrying?

Also, since they say this is a legal compliance issue, it will apply to all cameras going forward, presumably from all manufacturers. No point worrying about. We just have to get used to it.

As posted by "Love_my_R5", the camera can be set to not demand the password at startup.

I wonder if you have the camera set to require a password, and that you somehow forget it, does Canon provide a means of allowing the user to reset the password, without submitting it to a repair depot? (That would be for owners who have registered the camera body with Canon.)
 
it will ask for PW when you update firmware
 
leagel issue..preemptive..I think will will soon be charge for customizable firmware for a price..so you will need PW and it will be specfic to you serial

I've never heard of this “legal compliance” anywhere.. And there is no hint of it on Canon Download page.

Bug fixes list seems to be here to motivate people. :)

I've never seen this er70 while shooting H+. I won't do this update and 2.10 will be my last firmware update on this camera. I will probably be selling it before I need anything more again with it.

And then ... bye bye Canon.

In response to European cybersecurity regulations, a password setting function will be added to protect personal information and security within the camera when connected to network infrastructure, IP addresses, and MAC addresses.

Does this mean that the password must be used whenever the camera is connected to the Internet?

(Which I rarely do. I use a card reader, rather than connecting the camera to a PC. Wirelessly or otherwise.)

Indeed, BTW, it would have been more relevant to put a password management only at the entry of concerned settings menu item and keep the user free to decide to use it or not for the settings he really wants to protect.

I think someone mentioned that you can reset the password by resetting the camera. In such case, all the custom camera settings would be lost so it would be best to frequently save your settings to a memory card.

Exactly correct. Depending on camera model different settings files can be created. I think the r52 has four

Click to expand...
You don't need a PW to do this, some sort of activation based on serial is enough. Atomos and a lot of other companies have done this in the past

But yeah, it makes for a good conspiracy theory

And depending on the camera body, you may be out of luck. I think only R5 and R1 let you backup settings to card. I mention in an R5 thread, because the password feature being discussed is coming to other bodies too
