Cameras may be used to capture an image or series of images constituting a video. In many situations, it is desirable for a user to be able to capture images “hands-free”, including when the user is moving. That is, for the camera to capture an image or images (often of a scene in front of the user) even as the user moves, without the user having to hold the camera and possibly without the user having to manually operate the camera. One way in which this can be achieved is by way of a separate camera mount secured to a garment, or alternatively which is secured to the user.
Alternatively a “wearable camera” may be used such as wearable camera 100 shown in FIG. 1a (frontal-view) and FIG. 1b (side-view). Camera 100 includes a set of standard camera electrical components (not shown) grouped together and housed by outer casing 102. The outer casing may support an image capture component 104 for capturing an image. A clip 108 is attached to the back of the casing 102.
