An apparatus is configured for use with a digital camera to capture images of
a fingerprint with the camera. The digital camera includes a primary lens for general
photography purposes. The apparatus includes an accessory lens assembly including
a first surface for supporting a finger to be imaged. The accessory lens assembly
is configured to direct light reflected from the finger to the primary lens of
the digital camera. A connection mechanism connects the accessory lens assembly
to the digital camera. The accessory lens assembly is movable via the connection
mechanism to cover the primary lens for fingerprint imaging, and is movable via
the connection mechanism away from the primary lens to allow the digital camera
to be used for general photography purposes.
