A camera for detecting an object in a detection zone is provided that has an image sensor having a plurality of light reception elements for the generation of image data from received light from the detection zone), a reception optics having a focus adjustment unit for setting a focal position, with an angle of incidence of the received light on the image sensor changing on a change of the focal position, and a control and evaluation unit that is configured to set the focal position for a sharp recording of image data of the object, A sensitivity change of the capturing of the image data caused by the respective angle of incidence of the received light is compensated.

Camera and method for detecting an object

An optoelectronic sensor is provided that has an image sensor for the detection of image data in its field of view and an aiming device having a light source that is arranged laterally offset from the image sensor and that is configured to generate alignment light and thus a light pattern in the field of view to make the position and/or extent of the field of view in space visible. In this respect, the aiming device has at least one optical metaelement having a metasurface and/or a metamaterial that is arranged and configured such that the optical axes of the image sensor and the aiming device are coaxially superposed.
