Abstract: The invention relates to a video camera having a camera housing (30), a first objective (12), through which light from a scene (14) to be picked up is guidable into the camera housing 30, a semiconductor sensor field (28), on which light from the scene (14) to be picked up is able to be cumulated, wherein it further includes: a projection area (16) disposed with respect to the first objective (12) such that light introduced through the first objective (12) is imaged onto the projection area (16), a second objective (26) disposed with respect to the projection area (16) and to the semiconductor sensor field (28) such that light from the projection area (16) is imaged onto the semiconductor sensor field (28).
