1. A method for producing a camera module, the method comprising:
mounting an objective on spacer elements, which are initially still movable;
aligning the objective with respect to an image sensor by moving the spacer elements, wherein the objective is aligned and then fixed in position by being joined to a support receiving the image sensor or to a housing enclosing the image sensor or to an interposed connecting structure, as a joining partner; and
welding, once the objective has been aligned, the spacer elements to the objective and the joining partner;
wherein the spacer elements are not flat and are positioned outside of the objective.
