Patent ID: 7738010

Claim:
A digital motion picture camera, comprising: an optoelectronic sensor device ( 31 ) for the recording of motion pictures, with the optoelectronic sensor device having, in an areal arrangement, a plurality of sensor elements ( 55 , 61 ) for the production of a respective received signal in dependence on a light exposure, and with the optoelectronic sensor device being divided into a central areal region ( 59 ) and a frame-shaped areal region ( 63 ) which surrounds the central areal region ( 59 ); a control device ( 45 , 47 ) for the control of the read-out of the received signals of the sensor elements; a digitizing device ( 33 ) for the digitizing of the received signals of the sensor elements, with a part of the sensor elements ( 55 , 61 ) being associated with the central areal region ( 59 ) of the optoelectronic sensor device ( 31 ) for generating received recording signals and with another part of the sensor elements being associated with the frame-shaped areal region ( 63 ) for generating received monitoring signals, wherein the division of the sensor elements into the central areal region and the frame-shaped areal region is permanently fixed during a recording of motion pictures; and at least one display device ( 43 ) for the display of both the received recording signals and the received monitoring signals, wherein only the received recording signals are provided for transmission into a memory device ( 39 ), the at least one display device ( 43 ) being coupled to a picture generator by which a cutting frame signal can be generated for the representation of a cutting frame between the received recording signals and the received monitoring signals.
