Claim 19:
20. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
detect, by use of the processor of an electronic device, a position of a physical camera switch on an external surface of a camera of the electronic device, wherein the physical camera switch comprises 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;
capture an image using the camera while the physical camera switch is detected to be in the filtering position; and
modify the image before the image leaves the electronic device using the digital filters to inhibit the biometric data collection from the image in response to the physical camera switch being in the filtering position while the image is captured.
