Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a camera (3, 4) of a motor vehicle (1), wherein a cover (10, 11) is moved between an operating position, in which the camera (3, 4) provides images of an environmental region (12, 13) of the motor vehicle (1), and a covering position, in which the cover (10, 11) covers the camera (3, 4) against the environmental region (12, 13). The current brightness level of a scene of the camera (3, 4) is acquired by means of the camera (3, 4); in the operating position of the cover (10, 11), at least one operating parameter of the camera (3, 4) is adjusted depending on the current brightness level of the scene; a movement operation of the cover (10, 11) from the operating position into the covering position is acquired by the camera (3, 4); and after acquiring the movement operation, the at least one operating parameter is adjusted to a value independent of the current brightness level of the scene acquired by the camera (3, 4), in particular whilst maintaining an activated operating state of the camera (3, 4).
