This disclosure describes an aerial vehicle that includes a light alteration assembly that may be used to alter light entering a lens of a camera of the aerial vehicle. The light alteration assembly may include an adjustable visor and/or filters that may be selectively positioned over the lens of the camera. By altering light entering the lens of a camera of the aerial vehicle, the camera is able to obtain higher quality images of the area surrounding the aerial vehicle. The higher quality images may then be processed to accurately detect objects within a vicinity of the aerial vehicle.

An accessory device functions to enhance image capturing events by an electronic device. The accessory device may include a button that is positioned to provide relative ease for depressing whether the electronic device, including a camera, is in a portrait mode or a landscape mode. The button of the accessory device may be offset with respect to a button of the electronic device. However, the button of the accessory device may nonetheless provide an input (e.g., actuation, touch input, force sensing) to the button of the electronic device. Some accessory devices include a stand that allows for rotation of a receptacle of an accessory device, thus facilitating capturing a panoramic image by the electronic device. Also, some buttons may take the form of lockable buttons.
