1. A camera comprising:

  • a first image collection unit arranged to collect at least a first image comprising a view of at least one body part of a user;

    an image processing unit arranged to process the collected first image so as to recognise from the collected first image a position of the at least one body part of the user; and

    a control unit arranged to control a field of view of a second image collection unit of the camera to delimit a region of a scene visible to the second image collection unit in dependence upon the recognised position and to exclude a specific object from the field of view of the second image collection unit if the image processing unit recognizes that the user is deliberately occluding the specific object.
