Abstract: A camera system comprising an optical unit, a mounting device moveably mounting the optical unit on a mounting surface, an actuator generating an actuation movement, wherein the actuator is coupled to the optical unit and/or to the mounting device, so that the optical unit is moved relative to the mounting surface around a swivel range when the actuator is actuated, a sensor device adapted to detect orientation information, a controlling device controlling the actuator and adapted to determine a compensation movement based on the orientation information for compensation for a backlash-based relative movement between the actuator and the optical unit, wherein the optical unit comprises a center of gravity out of the swivel range, wherein the compensation movement is varied in dependence of a position of the center of gravity relative to the swivel range.
