Privacy coveriThe main physical way to block the lens. A built-in shutter is fixed to the camera. A detachable cover is a separate part in the box. Lens turns away means the gimbal points the lens down or away. A software privacy mode does not count. A cover sold separately counts as none. A camera with a built-in shutter and a cap is built-in. A body that folds over the lens counts as built-in. A cover the user sticks or clips onto the camera is detachable, even when it flips open.
