Abstract
In a device for predictable exposure control of a vehicle camera, a first vehicle camera has a visual field directed to the side or to the rear, and a second vehicle camera has a visual field directed to the front. A method involves recording second image data from the outer front surroundings by the second vehicle camera, detecting a region having altered brightness within the second image data, determining a required change of an exposure value based on the second image data, to compensate for a brightening or darkening that occurs when the vehicle enters the region having altered brightness, and transmitting the changed exposure value to the first vehicle camera such that, upon entry into the region having altered brightness, the first vehicle camera records first image data based on the changed exposure value.
