1. A method for producing a camera module which has an objective including an integrated heating device, and a housing including a printed circuit board and an image sensor, the method comprising the following steps:
inserting the objective into the housing;
aligning the objective with respect to the image sensor;
fixing the objective by producing an adhesive bond to the housing; and
electrically contacting the heating device integrated into the objective using preloaded and/or thermally or electrically activatable, contact elements, which are brought into electrically conductive contact with contact surfaces formed on an outer circumference of the objective by releasing a loading apparatus and/or by thermal or electrical activation.
