I have a quick question...

Is there a reason why upon fw update being completed, the camera then requests a new password to be set?

I dont know whether this was the correct process, but I had to set a 6-digit password and reconfirm it in order to get to the main menu to show once more.

Then I went into menu #6 and disabled the password features that I never had enabled to begin with.

Is this normal Canon practice for a fw update? This is the first one I have done on my R6 Mkii.
Also what I felt was a bit of a pain is the password entry seems to have a timeout feature so if you are not quick enough to enter the 6 digits, the pwd set up has to be redone from scratch.
