Hello everyone,

I just uploaded the new eosr-62v1.6.0 firmware on my R6 Mark II. I was a bit concerned with the idea of having to enter a password every time I turn on my camera or every time it powers off. However, after chatting with Rick (shadowsport), and listening to his explanation, I decided to update my R6 Mark II to the 1.6.0 firmware and disable the password option. Here is the breakdown:

Download the new firmware to your SD card.
Install the firmware on to the R6 Mark II. Do not touch any button on your camera while the firmware is being uploaded.
Once the firmware is uploaded, a window will pop up asking you to enter a 6-digit password. After you have entered the password hit the [OK] button then a window will pop up asking you to reconfirm the password you entered. The camera will then turn on as usual.
If you want to disable the password option: Turn your camera off wait a few seconds and turn it back on. The camera will turn on with a window asking for your password and below it a check box stating [ ] "Do not ask again". Enter your password then check the box [x] Do not ask again, then hit OK. Your camera will turn on as usual. Turn the camera Off wait a second then turn your camera back On and this time it will not ask you for a password.
How to manage your password: Go to your Wrench Tool Menu drop down 5 and there you will see "Manage Password". Click on it and you'll see a menu with the following options:
Pword. request OFF
Change Password
Clear entered information

Make the changes as you like. The new eosr-62v1.6.0 firmware for the R6 Mark II is very straightforward to download and it gives you the options to use or not to use a password. I don't want to have to enter a password every time that I turn on the camera or when it powers off, not to mention missing a good shot because of it. I hope this helps those that have questions about the new password option, Also, this firmware "Adds functions", "Improves AF Tracking", "Adds new ability", and "Fixes Issues". I hope this helps answer questions like I had.
