A time-of-flight, ToF, camera for measuring distance information for objects of a scene. The ToF camera comprises a light source for illuminating the objects, an image sensor for acquiring light signals reflected from the objects, a processing unit for processing first portions of the reflected light signals modulated with oscillations of a first frequency, and for processing second portions of the reflected light signals modulated with oscillations of a second frequency. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency and a second distance measurement value range is smaller than a first distance measurement value range. The second frequency is a non-integer multiple of the first frequency. The processing unit is adapted to restrict, on the basis of a spacing, the determining of the second distance measurement value range to the zeroth repetition of a predetermined number of repetitions of the first distance measurement value range.
