Method for recording image data

Abstract

A method for recording image data by means of a camera, in particular by means of a motion picture camera, is provided. In this respect, the camera comprises an image sensor with an adjustable sensitivity that comprises a plurality of light-sensitive detector elements arranged in rows and columns and that is configured to generate a respective electric charge in dependence on the intensity of light that is incident on a respective detector element during a respective single exposure, to amplify said respective electric charge in dependence on the set sensitivity and to convert it into a respective image signal value. The method comprises: a recording sensitivity and a target sensitivity being predefined, wherein the recording sensitivity deviates from the target sensitivity by an exposure correction value; image data being recorded by means of the camera while the sensitivity of the image sensor is set to the recording sensitivity; a noise correction being determined in dependence on the target sensitivity and/or the exposure correction value; and corrected image data being generated by modifying the recorded image data based on the noise correction.
