A method for operating a camera-monitor system for a motor vehicle comprising:
- providing an image of an environment of the motor vehicle from a camera;
- ascertaining an attention-relevant object in the environment with a control device by;
- ascertaining a threshold value for an attention relevance, wherein the threshold value depends on at least one of a user of the camera-monitor system, and a history of the change in the representation and environmental variables;
- and
- ascertaining a value of the attention relevance of the object;
- changing temporarily at least one representation property of the image in dependence on the ascertained object to form a changed image by changing a brightness when the ascertained value is greater than the threshold value;
- and
- representing the changed image on a monitor.
