1. A method comprising: sensing, via a finger position sensing circuit, axially aligned to a direction of motion of a finger of a user during a swipe of the finger over a linear one-dimensional capacitive fingerprint image sensor array, a position of the finger of the user relative to the linear one-dimensional capacitive fingerprint image sensor array; and providing to the user, in response to the position of the finger as sensed by the finger position sensing circuit, an indication whether the finger is properly positioned to begin a fingerprint image sensing swipe over the linear one-dimensional capacitive fingerprint image sensor array.
