Just a note for anyone wondering about the protection provided by the new PIN feature - it does not protect your information.
The PIN feature protects the camera itself, which may provide some protection against theft. However, it does not protect your pictures and video.
The PIN protects information entered into the camera itself, like the date and time, or your shutter speed, or your name, if you enter it in the copyright page. But basically it doesn't provide any significant information protection, because there isn't any significant information stored in the camera itself. Your pictures and video are stored on the memory card, and the PIN doesn't protect that.
Fox example, let's say you're a doctor using the camera to document patient conditions for their medical records. You would naturally want this information to be protected. But the PIN doesn't do that. Anyone who finds the camera can simply pop the memory card into a computer and read all the pictures and video straight off the card, no PIN required.
So if you're in that situation, I would recommend that you keep your camera securely locked up in your office, or securely erase the memory card after each use.
The manual does mention this (if you can find the up-to-date manual for your camera).
The only way Canon could remedy this would be to encrypt all pictures and video. But this would be a colossal pain in the rear - you would need proprietary software to access your content every single time, and I would guess that software wouldn't be available on Linux, or Chromebooks, etc. So the status quo is probably (hopefully) how it's going to be. Just don't let the PIN give you a false sense of information security.
