  • a digital imaging subsystem that includes a lens having an optical axis;

    a case that encloses and supports the digital imaging subsystem in a defined positional relationship to the case;

    a removable panel coupled to the case, the removable panel covering the digital imaging subsystem without the removable panel being directly connected to the digital imaging subsystem, the removable panel being removable and rotatable to be held by the case in one of a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the case; and

    an optical component supported by the removable panel such that the optical component is aligned with the optical axis and alters optical characteristics of the digital imaging subsystem when the removable panel is held in the first orientation, and the optical component is removed from the optical axis and does not alter optical characteristics of the digital imaging subsystem when the removable panel is held in the second orientation.
