A device is provided including a headlamp including imaging elements for the targeted generation of pixels of a light distribution, and which is set up so that individual imaging elements are actuated separately via pulse width modulation to specify the luminous flux generated by the imaging element through the ratio of the on-phases and the off-phases of the pulse width modulation. A camera features an image sensor with a plurality of sensor elements read out consecutively to detect image information from different solid angle ranges illuminated by the headlamp. A control unit actuates the headlamp and the camera, and regulates temporal overlap between on-phases of the actuation of an imaging element and reading out of at least one sensor element of the camera which is hit by light generated by the imaging element, depending on the size of luminous flux generated by the imaging element.
