The proposed method for operating a laser distance measuring device, in particular a hand-held laser distance measuring device, is based on a method in which laser radiation is emitted to a target point by means of an emitter unit, laser radiation reflected back from the target point is detected by a receiver unit with a detection surface, at least one image of at least one target environment of the target point is captured by at least one camera, and a representation of the image, overlaid with a marking of the target point, is displayed on a screen of the laser distance measuring device. According to the disclosure, a parallax error in the representation of the image, overlaid with a marking of the target point, is corrected according to an estimated distance to the target point. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding laser distance measuring device.

Method for operating a laser distance measuring device

The invention relates to a device for optical distance measurement, particularly to a handheld device, comprising a transmission unit () with a light source () for emitting optical measurement radiation () onto a target object (), and comprising a receiving unit () arranged at a distance from the optical axis () of the transmission unit () and equipped with at least one optical detector () for receiving optical radiation () reflected from the target object (). According to the invention, the detector () of the receiving unit () comprises a detection surface (), the optical surface of which has varying optical sensitivity.
