Abstract: A personal communication device, such as a smartphone handset comprises a main body incorporating a camera having a lens. An attachment for the personal communication device is detachably mountable to the main body by means of a cover. The attachment also comprises an optical device arranged to reflect light into the lens from a panoramic field of view. The optical device includes a convex mirror, which preferably reflects light from a 360° field of view into the camera. Such an arrangement enables the user to completely capture an image of his surroundings, so that the image is an objective record of a moment in time as experienced by the user. The invention is more portable and versatile than previous arrangements.
