1. A camera comprising:
a physical switch on an external surface of the camera that selectively moves between a filtering position that uses digital filters to inhibit biometric data collection and a non-filtering position that does not use the digital filters to inhibit the biometric data collection; and
an image modifier that captures an image, wherein when the physical switch is in the filtering position, the image modifier:
captures the image while the physical switch is detected to be in the filtering position; and
modifies the image before the image leaves the camera using the digital filters to inhibit the biometric data collection from the image in response to the physical switch being in the filtering position while the image is captured.
